A member asked:
If you have high crp and sed rate does that always mean you have an autoimmune disease ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: some minor infections can influence both tests and the Sed Rate will increase with almost any medical issue and is very very NON-SPECIFIC! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
