What causes a high ESR?

Various inflammatory diseases:

Such as rheumatic fever, tuberculosis.

2 Tissue damage and necrosis: large tissue damage or surgical trauma, such as acute myocardial infarction.

3 Malignant tumors: rapidly growing malignant tumors with rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

4 When plasma globulin is relatively or absolutely elevated due to various reasons, ESR can increase rapidly, such as chronic nephritis, liver cirrhosis, and multiple occurrences.

Myeloma, macroglobulinemia, lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus, subacute ** infectious endocarditis, kala-azar, etc.

5 Other: In some patients with anemia, erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be mildly increased. Atheherosclerosis, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, mucus water.

In patients with swelling and other diseases, the blood cholesterol is high and the blood sedimentation rate is also increased.

Rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be seen in certain physiological conditions: women during menstruation, pregnancy, and the elderly, especially those over 60 years old, are often caused by increased fibrinogen. In pathological conditions, it can be seen in various inflammatory conditions (acute and chronic inflammation, such as tuberculosis, connective tissue diseases, rheumatic fever, etc.).

Tissue damage and necrosis can also increase in the short term. Malignant tumors, especially those with a high degree of malignancy and rapid growth, are more obvious. Rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be seen in a variety of hyperglobulinemia, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myelopathy, macroglobulinemia, liver cirrhosis, chronic nephritis, etc.

Rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate may also occur in anemia and hypercholesterolemia. As a result, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is complex, and non-specific.

Elevated alanine aminotransferase values.

It is an important indicator of liver function problems. Among the common factors, all types of hepatitis can cause elevated GPT, which is caused by the destruction of the liver. Some drugs, such as antineoplastic drugs and antituberculosis drugs, can cause liver damage.

Heavy drinking alcohol and eating certain foods can also cause short-term damage to liver function.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be divided into physiological and pathological, physiological is generally caused by menstruation, pregnancy, etc., and will not cause any harm to the body.

Pathological may be caused by bacterial infection, autoimmune diseases, etc., which will affect the patient's physical health, and may cause cough, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms.

If the patient is found to have a high ESR, the first thing to do is to determine whether it is physiologic or pathological. If it's physiological, don't worry too much, it's a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is pathological, it needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor**.

Maybe when it comes to ESR, some people don't know what it's all about, but if people go to the hospital for a check-up and find that their ESR is 40, they should pay enough attention to it, because it is likely to bring some health problems, first of all, inflammation will increase, and then people may be infected with some rheumatism, and the risk of contracting tuberculosis will also increase.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate itself is not a disease, but if the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is too high, then it will also have a great impact on physical health, some people go to the hospital to test, and the results find that their erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 40, which belongs to the manifestation of high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, if the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 40, then the probability of people suffering from rheumatic diseases will also be greatly improved, in order to let people pay enough attention to this disease, today we will briefly introduce to you erythrocyte sedimentation rate 40, what harm will it bring.

Clause. 1. Indicates increased inflammation.

The biggest trouble with ESR is not the ESR itself, which will cause harm to people, but because if the ESR is elevated, then it proves that the inflammation in the body will be further aggravated, so after finding that the ESR in the body is elevated, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination to see if there is inflammation in your body.

Clause. 2. May be infected with rheumatism.

For middle-aged and elderly people, high blood sedimentation rate is not a good thing, because it means that rheumatism may appear, when people have rheumatism, then it will also cause high blood sedimentation rate, although high blood sedimentation rate, does not only mean that people have rheumatism, and if there is rheumatism, then the index of blood sedimentation rate will be increased, especially people who already have dampness in the body, the probability of contracting rheumatism will be higher.

Clause. 3. Risk of tuberculosis infection.

If people are already infected with tuberculosis, then the blood sedimentation rate will be further increased, if there is usually a cough or chest tightness, then people should consider this aspect, if they are really infected with tuberculosis, then the blood dust in the body will also have a direct impact, will make people's blood sedimentation rate further increase.

If the ESR is 40, then it is actually a high ESR, at this time, people are prone to some inflammatory diseases in the body, and then there is an increase in the probability of people suffering from rheumatism, especially for the elderly, this phenomenon is also more common, and the risk of infection with tuberculosis in patients with ESR will also increase, especially in the tuberculosis epidemic season, the situation will be very dangerous.

High ESR itself does not cause any harm to the body, but the causes of high ESR can affect the body.

High ESR may be caused by ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., and high ESR will be more obvious during the active phase, and will cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, and discomfort in the joint. If the inflammation is not controlled in time, inflammatory factors will cause continuous erosion of musculoskeletal joints, and even lead to joint deformation.

Therefore, when the ESR is high, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are generally required**. High ESR may also be caused by neoplastic diseases, and surgery must be taken in time to avoid deterioration of the condition.

If the ESR is too high, it will have a great impact on the body, if the ESR is elevated, it proves that the inflammation in the body is further aggravated, and after the ESR is found to be elevated, you should immediately go to the hospital to check the inflammation inside the body. Patients with hypererythrocyte sedimentation rate will also have an increased risk of contracting tuberculosis, especially during the tuberculosis epidemic season, if there is a cough or chest tightness, it may be infected with tuberculosis, which will also have a direct impact on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the body. For middle-aged and elderly people, high blood sedimentation rate means that there is a possibility of rheumatism, especially if people who already have dampness in their bodies, and the risk of contracting rheumatism will be higher.

Usually pay attention to the combination of work and rest, increase nutrition appropriately, do not stay up late, and improve the body's immunity.

The problem of high blood sedimentation rate is the most concerned about the middle-aged and elderly people, high blood sedimentation rate refers to some rheumatic diseases, for the middle-aged and elderly is a very familiar disease, because most of the middle-aged and elderly people suffer from rheumatism, therefore, for the injury of high blood sedimentation rate we are very easy to grasp, but in order to give everyone some detailed information content, the following will discuss what is the interpretation of the injury of high blood sedimentation rate.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which blood cells decrease every hour when they are stationary. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is about 12 mm per hour, and under normal conditions, there is no significant difference in the speed of erythrocyte sedimentation rate among ordinary people, except that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate of children is a little slower, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate of adult men and pregnant women is slightly faster. However, in some conditions, ESR can make a significant difference.

Joints are more common in proximal interphalangeal joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, and toes; cervical vertebrae, temporomandibular joints, sternoclavicular joints, and acromioclavicular joints may also be involved with limited movement; Hip involvement is rare. Arthritis is often characterized by symmetrical, persistent swelling and tenderness, and morning stiffness often lasts for more than 1 hour. More common joint deformities are wrist and wrist ankonym, metacarpophalangeal subluxation, ulnar tilt of the fingers, and a "beautiful neck" and buttonhole pattern.

In severe cases, the joints are chemically fibrous or bony ankylosis, and the muscles around the joints are atrophied and the muscles around the joints are lost, resulting in the inability to stand on their own in daily life. In addition to joint disease, there can also be damage to extra-joint or internal organs, such as rheumatoid nodules, heart, lung, kidney, abducens nerve, and eye diseases.

From the above detailed introduction, it seems that there are many injuries of high blood sedimentation rate, the main injury is rheumatoid arthritis, this kind of disease is very serious for middle-aged and elderly people, which may cause patients to lose their ability to control their daily life, which is a great work pressure for the family, therefore, it is expected that the elderly should participate in more exercise to improve their physical fitness.
