Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

ESR or erythrocyte sedimentation rate is the non specific marker of underlying inflammatory changes.

Inflammation can be anything, like tuberculosis, respiratory infections, joint inflammation etc.

Once you start treatment for inflammation your ESR will go down.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
