Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein are blood tests that detect inflammation in a part of your body because then extra protein is released in the bloodstream and these tests detect this increase in protein.
Cause can be bacterial infections,autoimmune disease. connective tissue disorders OR may be Crohn's disease.Anaemia of chronic disease is also there as your RBCs are low.You should get an ultrasonography for stomach aches and must consult a gstroenterologist.Take care!
