Sedimentation Levels.

dibelljwMember

Hi. I had my pouch touched up in August and they said it looked good, no sign of UC or Crohns, but I have been having problems recently where they now said it could be UC or Crohns. My question is this: My sedimentation is normal (14). Can you have active Crohns or COlitis with a normal sedimentation rate at the same time? Curious as to whether the sed rate rules out IBD and points more to something else. Any thoughts? Thanks, Joe

Yes. Sed rates are not specific and can be normal, even when there is signifignt inflammation. Same is true of CRP levels.
