Complicated: The ESR is a marker of inflammation. Infections and auto-immune diseases are two things that can make it go up. It also tends to go up a little as we grow older. It's unfortunately not very specific for one thing and pretty sensitive. By itself, a minimally elevated ESR in someone your age is nothing to be worried about. Unless you're having symptoms of something i wouldn't lose too much sleep

Not reliable: Sedimentation rate is one of the less reliable lab. Test.Do you have any symptoms, how does it relates to other test.Standing alone it really do not have strong value.
