The sed rate only shows that there is inflammation in the body, not the cause or location. Any injury can increase sed rate.
A sed rate (sedimentation rate) is the rate at which red blood cells settle out in a tube of blood under standardized conditions. A high sed rate usually indicates that an inflammation is present.
500
A SED rate of 60 is high even for an elderly man. Even if you''re 90 your SED rate should be somewhere around 50 or below. Talk to your doctor about it.
A low erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed. rate or ESR) indicates that inflammation is low in the body "sed". rate or ESR is a measurement of the speed with which red blood cells fall in a test tube of blood. As inflammation in the blood goes up inflammatory substances attach to red blood cells making them heavier and causing them to settle more quickly. In healthy persons with no inflammation the "sed" rate is low. The "sed" rate doesn't point to any particular disease, but is a general indication of the amount of inflammation in the body. In lupus and polymyalgia rheumatica, the ESR often correlates with disease. uric acid being high can indicate anything from kidney problems to a predisposition to high uric acid content in the blood that needs to be monitored.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is a test that indirectly measures the degree of inflammation present in the body. A rate of 84 would indicate a disease, as the normal range for an adult is between 18 and 23.
Lupus is a remitting flaring autoimmune disease that affects each patient differently. When lupus is flaring, inflammation markers like sed rate, ferratin, and c reactive protein are likewise high.
If you are talking ESR or sed rate then yes it is very high As it is normally 20 in women and 10 in men.
Sed is often used as shorthand for sedimentation rate.
