ESR: ESR is a lab test that is called an acute phase reactant. It cab be elevated for a variety of reasons. 25 is borderline. With a history of TB if you are symptomatic, you may need to be reevaluated. If it was 2 in 2014 and is 35 now, you would need a repeat CXR&CT scan and revaluation of treatment
