Hello,
C-reactive protein is produced as part of the inflammatory process and attaches to the invading microorganism or damaged cells. A high level of C-reactive protein indicates that there is inflammation.
A high ESR also indicate inflammation so kidnly request to consult physician .

Thanks

These two tests (ESR and CRP) are not specific for any particular disease and may be raised in no of conditions. These usually indicate an inflammatory process and the underlying cause should be searched for.
