A member asked:
My inflammation level is 73. it keeps rising. i have been tested for ra, cancer, lupus. all were negative. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: An elevated ESR has numerous causes. Any disease that can cause inflammation can raise the esr. You do not list symptoms so I have no specific suggestions. I would make sure a serum protein electrophoresis has been done.
