Other parameters to be considered...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sedimentation rate is providing the speed of setting of red blood cells on a sedimentation tube.

High level is indicative for possible inflammation inside your body. Yours, is really high and is indicative for inflammation.

However, other parameters should be considered to determine the severity of your actual health condition.

You can send to me other lab reports you have and let me analyzed myself before running final conclusions.

Thank you!
