What is ESR?

  • Purpose: The ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood over one hour.
  • Function: It is an indirect measure of inflammation in the body. Higher rates indicate higher levels of inflammation.

Why is the ESR Test Done?

  1. Diagnosis: Helps diagnose conditions that cause inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers.
  2. Monitoring: Monitors the progression of inflammatory diseases and the effectiveness of treatments.
  3. Screening: Assists in detecting inflammatory activity when the symptoms are non-specific.

When Should You Get an ESR Test?

  • Symptoms of Inflammation: If you have symptoms such as unexplained fever, weight loss, anemia, or symptoms of autoimmune diseases like joint pain and stiffness.
  • Chronic Conditions: For ongoing monitoring of known inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
  • Infection Suspicions: When there is a suspicion of systemic infection or chronic infection.
