A member asked:

My mom is 57 yrs old. she has fever for 4 days but not high fever but her esr is 105 mm/hr...what could be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ESR: There are only greater than 100 documented causes for an ESR >100. This test is a very non-specific test for inflammation. Your mom should be seen by her doctor and provide a detailed history and undergo an exam and lengthy discussion with her physician and then convey that to you. Hope she is better soon.
