Suggest Treatment For High ESR Level And Fever
Brief Answer:
High ESR & high platelets- both abnormal, need to be correlated clinically
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
An elevated ESR up to 120 is abnormal.
ESR increases in cases of chronic inflammations and malignancies.
The normal platelet count is between 1.5 lakh to 4.5 lakh per cubic millimeter.
Platelet count of 7.65 lakhs is abnormal.
High platelet count occurs in infections, inflammation, iron deficiency anemia, thrombocythemia etc.
These lab findings need to be correlated with clinical features of the patient.
Please post other lab reports (if any) for assessment.
Thanks and take care
