Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, also known as sed rate or ESR is a test for nonspecific inflammatory disorders.
The nonspecific immune response, also known as the innate immune response, does not involve the production of antibodies or specific lymphocytes that target particular pathogens. Instead, it relies on general defense mechanisms such as physical barriers (like skin), phagocytic cells, and inflammatory responses. Therefore, the absence of specificity means it does not provide tailored protection against specific invaders, which is the role of the adaptive immune response.
Nonspecific foci of T2 prolongation in subcortical and periventricular white matter can be caused by a variety of conditions such as small vessel ischemic disease, chronic microvascular changes, demyelination, or inflammatory processes. It is commonly seen in conditions like small vessel disease, migraine, or chronic microvascular changes related to aging. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause in each individual case.
Nonspecific lab results such as the ones you list can't be evaluated without also taking into account the results of the history and physical. Contact your health care provider for more information specific to your situation.
Controsan is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication, often prescribed for the relief of pain and swelling associated with conditions like arthritis or muscle injuries. It may also provide symptomatic relief for various inflammatory disorders. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for specific uses and dosage recommendations.
Rebidum is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication. It is often prescribed for the treatment of pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle aches, and other inflammatory disorders. Its active ingredients work by blocking certain enzymes in the body that contribute to inflammation and pain. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate usage and dosage.

A common test for nonspecific tissue damage is the measurement of serum levels of enzymes such as creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Elevated levels of these enzymes can indicate tissue damage due to various causes, including muscle injury, heart attack, or liver disease. Additionally, the presence of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) can also suggest nonspecific tissue damage. These tests help assess the extent of damage but do not pinpoint the exact cause.
No it is not an anti inflammatory drug. It is used for anxiety and panic disorders
Pain during menstruation. May be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (a rather nonspecific diagnosis) or by endometriosis (where endometrial tissue occurs NOT in the uterus).
Hyporeflexia is consistent with peripheral nervoussystem deficits but is nonspecific.
A blood test for vaculated polys, often referred to as a test for vacuolated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, is typically used to assess the presence of certain blood disorders or infections. The presence of vacuoles in neutrophils can indicate underlying conditions such as bone marrow disorders, infections, or inflammatory processes. This test can help healthcare providers diagnose and monitor various health issues, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test is used to detect inflammation in the body. Elevated levels of CRP can indicate various conditions, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. It is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose or monitor the progression of these conditions. However, CRP is a nonspecific marker, meaning it does not pinpoint the exact cause of inflammation.
A positive anti-streptolysin O (ASLO) titer can sometimes be associated with a false positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test. This is because both tests can reflect underlying inflammatory processes or infections, which may lead to nonspecific antibody production. However, a positive ASLO is more directly related to streptococcal infections, while ANA is typically associated with autoimmune disorders. Therefore, while there can be a link, it is not a definitive or common occurrence.
The most prevalent use of BVT is for immune system and inflammatory disorders.
Methotrexate is not recommended for women with liver or kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, clotting disorders, documented immunodeficiency, or certain blood disorders.
The IMs include dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis.
External defenses - Includes skin and mucous membranes. Internal defenses - Includes phagocytic cells, inflammatory responses, and antimicrobial proteins.
