Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can gastritis cause an elevated sed rate? What are the most common causes of gastritis. I am not on any NSAID, or other drugs. No alcohol... My sed rate came back as 66. 3 weeks prior I had an endoscopy with biopsys taken. I would think this could affect sed rate, but like I said it was 3 weeks prior.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, gastritis is the inflammatory condition of gastric region and it can be due to infection, or drug induces or with hyperacidity these are the common causes of gastritis, besides theses it may happens with several other conditions, gastritis can cause many symptoms and it goes on varying from patient to patient, it may not cause any changes in sed rate hope this information helps.
