Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
I have seen the reports.
Yes she has jaundice but it is is now improving well. That is good.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate or ESR is a test that tells us about inflammation in the body.
Since her liver is inflamed, the ESR is high and it has even gone up further.
Do not worry. It will come down when the inflammation reduces.
