    What is Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test?

    The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test helps identify the presence of inflammation in the body. Inflammation occurs as the immune system responds to injuries, infections, and various conditions, including blood disorders, some cancers, and autoimmune diseases. The ESR test assesses how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a blood sample.

    Our lab employs automated technology for this measurement, ensuring accuracy over the traditional manual observation method. In general, erythrocytes settle slowly; however, in cases of inflammation, they tend to settle more rapidly. While the ESR test is not conclusive on its own, it provides valuable information for monitoring inflammatory diseases.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Parameters

    The ESR blood test measures one key parameter: the sedimentation rate of erythrocytes (red blood cells). A blood sample is placed in an upright test tube, and the rate at which the red blood cells settle to the bottom within one hour is recorded.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Preparation

    Before undergoing the ESR blood test, there are several key factors to consider:

    • Prerequisites : No specific preparations or fasting are needed for this test. However, if your doctor has ordered additional tests using the same blood sample, you may need to fast for several hours beforehand. It's best to consult your doctor for guidance on any fasting requirements.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : The ESR test can be performed at any time, as fasting is not required. If you have additional tests planned alongside the ESR, check with your doctor about the ideal time for testing.

    • Who Should Get an ESR Test Done? An ESR test is often recommended for diagnosing or monitoring inflammatory conditions like arthritis. It may also be advised for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms such as persistent fever, joint pain, or unexplained weight loss.

    • Cautions Before Doing the ESR Test: Generally, no special precautions are needed before the ESR test. It is mandatory to let your doctor know about any medications that you take before the test.

    Why Take the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test?

    An ESR test is a blood test designed to detect inflammation in the body. Here are some reasons a doctor might recommend it:

    • Monitoring Disease Activity : For chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease, the ESR test helps track how well the disease is responding to treatment.

    • Diagnosing Health Conditions : This test aids in diagnosing and monitoring conditions that involve inflammation, such as lupus and vasculitis. If you present unexplained symptoms like joint pain, weight loss, or fever, an ESR test can help identify inflammation as a potential factor.

    It's crucial to note that while an elevated ESR indicates inflammation, it is a non-specific test and does not identify the exact cause. Further testing should be performed to achieve a definite diagnosis.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test Results and Interpretation

    Accurate interpretation of your ESR test results is essential for diagnosing and managing various health conditions. Here’s how to understand the results:

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

    A higher-than-normal ESR indicates that your red blood cells are settling more quickly than usual, which may suggest inflammatory conditions such as infections, arthritis, or certain cancers. The greater the ESR value, the more significant the inflammation.

    Conversely, a lower-than-normal ESR suggests that red blood cells are settling more slowly, which can occur due to blood disorders like sickle cell anaemia and polycythemia, as well as heart failure and some liver or kidney diseases.

    It's also noteworthy that women typically have slightly higher ESR values. Additionally, ESR levels can temporarily rise during menstruation and pregnancy. While the ESR test is not a diagnostic tool on its own, it aids doctors in identifying and monitoring inflammatory diseases.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
