🎙️ Episode 5 – What’s the Real Value of ESR and CRP in Rheumatology?

“CRP is down, but the patient isn’t better. Now what?”


In this episode of RheumRounds, Dr. Aravind Palraj breaks down the two most overused — and misunderstood — inflammatory markers in clinical practice: ESR and CRP.


🧠 In this 7-minute deep dive, you’ll learn:


  • How ESR and CRP actually work — and why they often don’t match
  • Disease-specific pitfalls in RA, PsA, SLE, PMR, vasculitis, and fibromyalgia
  • When to trust these markers — and when to ignore them



From sprinting CRPs to slow-moving ESRs, this episode helps you decode inflammation with clinical clarity.


🎯 Because in rheumatology, treating the number is easy. Treating the patient takes skill.
