hyperthyroidism
Anyone know what ESR, Westergren stand for in bloodwork? Mine was high at 42.2, along with tests that show hyperthyroidism. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Yes, it looks like subacute thyroiditis. Also since it is an inflammation, the ESR can be high.
HI and thanks for responding. a week later the ESR went down from 76 to 53 ( sorry i gave the wrong number last time. ) now my TSH is still .01, and the T4 FREE went down form 3.1 to 1.9. The doctor said this points to subacute thyroiditis as opposed to hyperthyroidism. any thoughts?
