I just had a blood test for arthritis. What are they looking for?

Your doctor might advise taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) corticosteroid therapy to reduce inflammation.
It means that either one has inflammations or infections in the body. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause and investigate further.
No, it is not dangerous. However, you might be suffering from health conditions such as arthritis. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause.
A CRP test may be used to help find or monitor inflammation in acute or chronic conditions, including infections from bacteria or viruses.
Yes, patients have high ESR during TB because of inflammatory cytokines released in the blood which can cause elevated levels of ESR.
