Esr: ESR elevation is non specific.. it means the liver is responding to inflammation from many causes. INfection, arthritis, tumor, virus or bactieria . In rheumatoid arthritis we use it as a marker for therapy efficacy..

Hi I am 19 years old i just done my blood test the result is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) is high its on 60 which medican I do need ?
Had bloodwork done on 16th lab didn't get to it until the 20th. Sedimentation rate is usually high 90 this time it's 2. Could this be because the blood wasn't tested right away. What other blood test results can be affected by taking this long?
