I had some blood work done 1/2016 and they did a ESR, and it was elevated to 35. Repeated it yesterday and it was 44. I have no signs of infection. I am supposed to repeat ESR and add an ANA in 2 weeks. Is there any other blood work that would be helpful to diagnose what s going on?
yes.Do simple blood investigations like Complete blood count and CRP.If everything comes normal then go for ANA.U can do urine analysis also to rule out urinary infection.Hope it may help u.
