Patient discussion about elevation.

Q. high ESR levels? i had ESR test done after complaining of weakness, repeated upper respiratory infection, fever and weight loss. my ESR rate is extremely high 120 a week ago and today 114. chest x-ray negative, stomach Ultra Sound negative, other test relatively ok.... Any suggestions?

A. Extremely elevated ESR may result from several causes. However, in the absence of identifiable cause, it may be a benign finding. Not essentially relevant to your case, but testing protein electrophoresis as well as blood count and blood cultures (for the presence of endocarditis) seems appropriate. However, it's only a general advice, so clearly consulting a professional is recommended here.

Q. My wife(53) has elevated CEA and CA19.9 levels - near 150, without any concomitant reason/observation? Comment

A. Hi Bobby3,

The most important question is why were these tests done?
An elevated level may result from many causes, some of them are simple and some are more problematic. IMHO the best thing would be consulting her doctor to consider the need to check-up her alimentary system.
