An elevated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) can be a non-specific indicator of inflammation.

An elevated ESR can indicate many diseases, including auto-immune diseases with an inflammatory component like RA and SLE though in these and other examples more specific clinical investigations are of greater diagnostic value.
