Hello, I hope you are well, ESR is a very non-specific acute phase reactant study that can be raised by multiple causes; any infectious process, of stress, dehydration. A very important relationship is diarrhea and an increase in ESR due to an inflammatory bowel disease in any of its variants such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease or an Indeterminate Colitis. Is a disease group with extensive clinical presentation and involvement in many organs and systems that require extensive study of functional status, laboratory tests, imaging, endoscopic and histological studies.
