n.
Abbr. ESR A spectrometric method, based on measurement of the spins of unpaired electrons in a magnetic field, for detecting and estimating free radicals in organic reactions.
Patient discussion about electron spin resonance.

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.
