What causes high ESR and low Lipoprotein a?

High ESR and low Lipoprotein a can be caused by many reasons.

If your ESR is in between 0.1 mm/hr and 14 mm/hr and your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for ESR and Lipoprotein a respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease ESR levels include:

• Rheumatic fever
• Vascular disease
• Autoimmune diseases
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Heart disease

Normal range of ESR : 0.1 - 14 mm/hr
