A member asked:
M28, had inguinal hernia surgery with prolene mesh, 45 days back. at that time my esr was 2 and now it is 31, could this be from reaction to mesh.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Prolene is polypropylene, very inert and non reactive. Elevated ESR to that level can be caused by any inflammatory condition. You should look to another source for this lab test abnormality.
