A member asked:

Crp was elevated now normal and sed rate is a little high. what is the difference?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammation : Both ESR and CRP reflect an inflammatory state. They need to be interpreted in the context of the clinical picture. At any rate, without knowing too much about you, i can say that it is a very good sign that your ESR normalized. A slight elevation of the sedimentation rate is nonspecific and may be meaningless.
