A member asked:

Esr test value was 41 what does that mean? they said i didn't have autoimmune but lots of inflammation

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: An ESR of 41 is modestly elevated and by itself means very little. Because it is a test the lab needs to do promptly, must rheumatologists rely much more on the CRP. The ESR can be elevated at that level by numerous different causes and can even be seen in otherwise normal individuals.
