[|Human|] My daughter (19) has been referred o a rheumatologist for the 2nd time n 2 years. High Sed rate, inflammation, and WBC. The fist visit, in 2012, showed a few slightly elevated results in CBC, but was not an issue at the time. What do I do as a mother, parent, to know what I do from here? What do I need to ask?
[|AI|]  You have not cleared the reason why is she referred to a rheumatologist? Any joint pain, rash on face, loss of hair ?apart from ESR, CBC what other blood tests are you asked to do? Any family history of autoimmune disease?inflammation and High ESR and changes in CBC are seen when you are ill due to some bacterial, viral infection and fever and in many other diseases.I would suggest you to meet a rheumatologist if you are advice to because from the history you have given, can not come to any conclusion but It's good to visit a rheumatologist with all previous history of illness.It's easy to make a diagnosis when as much information is given to the doctor.
