Hello Mr. lybrate-user. Esr alone is not significant for a particular condition and it just points out that you are probably having some infection or some inflammatory condition. But again it is not very specific as it may vary due to many factors like hemoglobin level, smoking status, age, gender etc so do not worry and you do not need any treatment unless you are symptomatic.
