It just means that the rate is slightly elevated, this indicates that you have some form of inflammation or infection. SED rate is a non specific test and is not able to tel what causes the problem just tat there is one.

The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimeters per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children
