Patient's question:
Health check report: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 30, proteinuria 1. The doctor said I have arteritis. I'm not sure what the symptoms of arteritis are. Does the ESR of 30 and proteinuria of 1 have anything to do with arteritis? Can you explain how arteritis is caused?Doctor's answer:
The current situation requires a thorough understanding of the results of the blood sedimentation rate test. If it is confirmed that there is arteritis, it is essentially an inflammatory condition that is not bacterial in nature. In this case, the only option is to use a relatively common clinical treatment approach, which is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for combined therapy. When necessary, corticosteroids can be tried in combination with vitamin C.
