Suggest Treatment For Blood Result Shows ESR = 28
Hi Doctor,
GM, Due to point at my toe , i went to doctor and blood results are marked as ESR = 28 and CRP is 10.1. He is saying it USPA. I was prescribed to use folitrax 15. How serious condition it is? are these causing any other problems. I am worrying about these readings.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
A specific cause cannot be determined based on ESR and CRP .Generally it is followed up with other tests to diagnose medical condition.
High ESR and CRP also indicates that person is having some infection in the body.
ESR and CRP will come down with control of infection.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
