I Got High ESR And High Cholesterol . I'm Confused
Question: I got high ESR and high cholesterol. I'm confused whether to go to physician or a rheumatologist. Can you give advice in this regard?
Brief Answer:
It would be in the domain of a physician
Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
ESR is raised whenever there is an infection or inflammation going on in the body,during pregnancy,menstruation,anemia,autoimmune disorders,kidney diseases and some cancers.
A raised cholesterol has implications of heart disease,hypertension,fatty liver and stroke in the long run.
If you are not having any symptomatology like fever and joint pains,a physician would be better and clinician of choice for the complete clinical evaluation.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
