Can IBS Cause High ESR And CRP Levels
Question: Would IBS cause inflammatory markers ESR. 46 and CRP. 46?
Brief Answer:
No, IBS does not cause those markers to increase in those values
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
IBS does not alter these markers. If you have bowel symptoms only those values suggest that your symptoms are not from IBS but from an inflamatory disease.
But also, keep in mind that, these are nonspecific markers, meaning that there are a lot of inflammatory problems that increase those values, so you still may have IBS, and another problem in your body.
Hope this is helpful.
