A member asked:
Please help me understand how/why sed rate & crp can be very low or 0 despite active inflammation (confirmed acute arthritis & pancreatitis)? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These are as follows: Sed rate is an indicator for inflammation, infections and may not be increased in degenerative disease of JOINTS.CRP is specific for infection. In your case normal values are not unusual, but the SED rate, should be elevated to the high side of normal.
