Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Low Hemoglobin And Increased Esr/crp Levels In Blood?
A couple of weeks back I had an acute onset of joint pain with swelling - this has now settled but some of my blood tests have come back abnormal - I have low HB and chronically marginally raised esr and crp. Also, my results showed abnormal lfts. I am worried - have been referred to a haematologist but can't help researching online!
Hi, Joint pains would be secondary to arthritis and this would lead to raised ESR, and increased CRP. It will return back to normal slowly once inflammation reduces. Your hemoglobin is reduced, maybe due to nutritional deficiency. I do not have your LFTs details with me to comment about it. If you are a alcoholic, it explains your abnormal LFTs, and the hemoglobin reduction could be due to abnormal nutrition. If you have any more questions, happy to help again. Dr Prakash HM
