What is the reason for an abnormal increase in esr?

ESR: This test, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a very non specific test for inflammatory processes, based on several changes in plasma proteins that made the red cells compact faster. lGiven this non specific findings knowing why the test was ordered should guide the need more evaluation.
