My mom had an angioplasty a couple of weeks ago, and she's also got type 2 diabetes. I'm really concerned because her ESR level is at 78. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean something serious?
An elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 78 mmhr indicates inflammation or infection in the body, which can be concerning, especially in a patient who has recently undergone angioplasty and has type 2 diabetes. While a high ESR is not specific to one condition, it warrants further investigation to identify the underlying cause. It's important to consult with your mother's healthcare provider to determine the source of the elevated ESR and address it appropriately. They may recommend additional tests or treatments based on their findings. Close monitoring and managing her diabetes effectively are also crucial to avoid complications.
