Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate – Parameters: 1

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood over time. It is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation in the body, with elevated rates suggesting the presence of inflammation or infection. Despite its nonspecificity, ESR is valuable in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like autoimmune diseases, infections, and certain cancers. Our laboratory provides accurate ESR testing to aid in timely diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
