Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
ESR is nonspecific marker that elevated in any inflammation, infection, or tumor. I need to know your other reports as well. ESR can be high because of inflammation as well, so if you have any cold like inflammation than also it can be elevated. Provide your clinical complaint any if present for giving more comment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
