My mother is 62 years old, and her ESR level is 60. She sometimes has joint pain and fever, and she also has asthma. Could this be something serious?

Asked by Female, 36 ยท 21 days ago

An ESR level of 60 is elevated and indicates systemic inflammation, but it does not confirm a specific disease. Joint pain and occasional fever may suggest conditions such as arthritis or another inflammatory problem that require evaluation. With her age and asthma, it is important to assess her overall health carefully. It would be wise to obtain further tests and a proper medical review to identify the cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
