What conditions can an abnormally high sed-rate indicate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots: A high sed rate can indicate infection--say on a heart valve, pneumonia, etc. It can indicate inflammation in countless (almost) types of rheumatism--rheumatiod arthritis, lupus, etc. Certain cancers can cause high sed rates. It is a very non-specific test. It tells you something is probably going on, but not what is going on.
