What Are Symptoms Of High Sedimentation Rate In Blood?
What are symptoms of high sed rate? I had a mitral valve replacment, plus a maze procedure. They drew fluid from my lungs four times. Now no fluid in lungs but some under right lung. They said my inflamation sed rate is 47 and put me back on Prednisone. Please give me the sed rate range.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that ESR or erythrocyte sedimentation rate is the non specific marker of underlying inflammation of the body. So there must be some inflammation in your lung which cause high ESR. Yes your range if ESR is high which is 47. Normal range of ESR is 20 to 25 mm/hour.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
