A member asked:

My esr was 61. 2 weeks later crp was 5.1. i suffer from anxiety but could my elevated esr be a sign of cancer such as multiple mylemoma? is this esr very high? i'm very nervous. should i get any follow ups?

These are high value: and whoever ordered the tests should be following up with you. Both of them usually indicate inflammatory conditions like infections, autoimmune disease, rather than cancer if that's any relief; but it would appear that something is going on so yes you should get followup. Good luck!

ESR: If your sed rate was 61 that is high and you should get checked to explain that.
