Dear Sir the ESR value in 2008 of the blood test of my mother came out to be 35, 65 in 2010, February and now 130. However she is not having any much problems except some low degree pain in head, mouth, forehead for many years. Also CRT value came out to be 58.

Hi, dear

Common cause for high ESR and CRP is inflammation. There are many other causes for high ESR like anemia, tuberculosis, malignancy, paraproteinemia all can leads to high ESR.
