Hello and welcome to XXXXXXX

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and reports.

From your reports, the only two abnormal parameters are:
1. ESR: which indicates some inflammation in the body
2. Monocytes: Also seen when there is some inflammation in the body

The causes for a raised ESR are the following:

-Arhtritis
-Connective tissue disorders (180-200 disorders under this category)
-Vasculitis
-Acute or chronic infections (no signs of an infection are seen in your blood reports)

I hope this information helps. Do write back to me for any further clarifications, and I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
