ESR is not particularly diagnostic. So if it remains high then it needs to be correlated with clinical diagnosis. Rule out any chronic ailment. Sometimes further tests can be done to pinpoint the illness.

ESR on its own doesnot signify any thing. unless it is accompanied by other feature we do not attach any importance to it. it has only prognostic significance than diagnostic significance. so donot worry and leave it.
