Subject: CRP & ESR
Hi guys! Hope you can help me. My CRP is 38.8 and my ESR is 31. Blood test nurse made comment under breath to another nurse that that was high. Just wandered If anyone knows how high? Over heard Rheumy nurse today say a bloke had normal CRP and it was 3. Can't look it up on Google i'm afraid coz PC not well so having to use phone and can't seem to get Google to co operate. Thanks for your help and sorry to be a pain X

Hi Abbie, I have just had my blood test results back and according to the notes, normal values are shown as - CRP (0-5) and ESR (3-15).

hi Abbie, my notes say normal CRP is 0-10 and ESR varies. Not surprised they are up as you are suffering so much inflammation. They should come down with the steroids and mtx.

Hi Abbie,Upto now I have rarely had a esr below 60 or a crp below 30, infact last year my esr went upto 103 and my crp 87.and I have to say I didnt feel all that bad at the time. Its really strange.
My last test 2 weeks ago came in crp 7 and esr 37 and I am delighted.
One specialist told me not to worry about those blood markers he said concentrate on how you feel. (didnt stop me worrying mind lol)
