Elevated crp and normal esr
Rational Testing: the use of inflammatory markers
ESR and CRP are important lab markers that have been used to help support a diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). It has been reported that 7-20% of cases of GCA have a normal ESR. CRP is more sensitive and specific than ESR but when the tests are combined, the sensitivity increases to 99%.

ESR can be normal in up to 22% of patients with GCA, and can be elevated by anaemia and other inflammatory/infectious diseases. An elevated CRP is probably more specific. Thrombocytosis is associated with GCA. Fluorescein angiography for delayed choroidal perfusion can be helpful in discriminating AAION from non-arteritic AION.

A normal viscosity or ESR and normal CRP virtually rules out the condition. False negative results are rare – probably below 3%, though studies examining this required a gold standard of a positive temporal artery biopsy which will have selected a group of patients with more severe disease.
