[quote=Anonymous]ESR is also called the sed rate. It's a very common test. In some autoimmune diseases one or the other of ESR or CRP tends to be elevated. I think for RA it's ESR. Of course there are many with autoimmune diseases who do not have an elevated ESR or CRP; it's not required for diagnosis but elevated levels can be suggestive of an autoimmune disorder if you are otherwise not ill. The mysteriously swelling knee together with a strong family history of autoimmune disease could suggest juvenile idiopathic arthritis. I do think it would be worth your while to see a rheumatologist.[/quote]
