    What is Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test?

    The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test can determine whether or not you have inflammation in your body. Inflammation is your immune system's way of reacting to an injury, infection, and various other illnesses, such as blood disorders, some malignancies, and immune system disorders.

    The ESR blood test measures the speed at which the red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a blood sample settle at the bottom of the test tube (sedimentation) Our lab uses automated equipment for this measurement, unlike the manual method which involves direct observation. Typically, erythrocytes settle slowly. Normally, the red blood cells settle slowly; however, in inflammatory conditions, the red blood cells typically settle more quickly to the bottom of the test tube.

    Although the ESR test is not a diagnostic technique, it can assist your doctor in tracking the development of an inflammatory disease.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Parameters

    The ESR blood test consists of a single parameter, the rate of sedimentation of erythrocytes (red blood cells). The blood sample is placed in a test tube that is held upright, and the rate at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of the test tube in an hour is measured.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Preparation

    There are several important factors you should take into account before getting the ESR blood test:

    • Prerequisites : No specific preparation or fasting is required for the test. However, you might have to fast (not eat or drink) for many hours before the test if your doctor has requested additional testing on your blood sample. Consult your doctor for advice on fasting before the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : This test can be done at any time of the day, as fasting is not necessary. If you have been advised any additional tests along with the ESR test, it is best to consult your doctor for the best time to get tested.

    • Who Should Get an ESR Test Done?

    An ESR test may be recommended for diagnosing or monitoring inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or monitoring the treatment of such conditions. It may also be advised in individuals who have unexplained symptoms like persistent fever, joint pain, or unexplained weight loss.

    • Cautions Before Doing the ESR Test: No special precautions are required before undergoing this test. However, be sure to inform your doctor if you take any medications or supplements.

    Why Take the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test?

    An ESR test is a blood test used to detect inflammation in the body. Some reasons why a doctor might order an ESR test include:

    • Diagnosing Health Conditions : ESR helps in diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis, which involve inflammation. If you have unexplained symptoms like fever, joint pain, or weight loss, an ESR test can help determine if inflammation is a contributing factor.

    • Monitoring Disease Activity : For chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease, this test can monitor how well the disease is responding to treatment.

    However, it's important to remember that while an elevated ESR can signal inflammation, it is a non-specific test and doesn't pinpoint the exact cause of the inflammation. Further testing is often needed to diagnose the specific condition.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Results and Interpretation

    An accurate interpretation of your ESR test results is crucial for diagnosing and managing health conditions. Here is how you can interpret the test results:

    ParametersNormal Range
    ESR (Quantitative Capillary Photometry)0-10 mm/h

    A higher-than-normal ESR means your red blood cells are sinking more rapidly than usual, suggesting the presence of inflammatory conditions like infection, arthritis, or certain cancers. The higher the ESR value, the greater the degree of inflammation.

    Lower-than-normal ESR means your red blood cells are setting more slowly than usual. This can be caused by blood disorders like sickle cell anaemia and polycythaemia; heart failure; and some liver and kidney conditions.

    Women often tend to have slightly elevated ESR values. ESR can also be temporarily elevated in women during menstruation and pregnancy. Although an ESR test isn't a diagnostic tool by itself, it can assist doctors in identifying or tracking the course of inflammatory diseases.

    • Very professional services. On time arrival of eMedic to collect sample. Unlike other apps, He was well groomed and collected the samples very smoothly. Also the reports were shared within 6 hours. We could track the sample also online. I have used other apps earlier , but this was the best experience . Very happy with their services.

    • My experience with Orange labs have been excellent so far. Have relied on their home visit for regular blood tests given that it is a case of dengue, and close monitoring of the blood count is essential. They are prompt as promised and the results too are available within committed time lines. As to accuracy of results, I rely on the lab certifications to give me confidence. Would have wanted a voice interface ( a number to call ) for a first time experience, and an ability to order for quicker reports (2 hours) for a differential charge. For the service delivered as published, it is a 5-star
