A member asked:
If my doctor was looking 4 temporal arterties & when i had blood drawn sedrate&crp without pain would it still show up n my numbers if i had it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is an inflammatory condition and both ESR and CRP are markers for inflammation. It is much less likely to have temporal arteritis w/o pain in temples, but could be other vasculitis/arteritis.
