What is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate test?

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate test is used to measure how rapidly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a blood test tube. Generally, erythrocytes settle slowly, but a higher than normal ESR may indicate inflammation in the body. This test helps to determine inflammation such as arthritis, vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and also helps to monitor existing health conditions.

When to get tested?

Your doctor may prescribe this test if you have symptoms of inflammatory disorder. Inflammatory symptoms including:

  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Joint stiffness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Anemia

Sample requirement

A blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm by a healthcare professional. A erythrocyte sedimentation rate test price is not high.

Test preparation

No preparation is needed to appear in this test. A erythrocyte sedimentation rate test cost is reasonable.

  • Infection
