ESR Automated Blood Test in Yelahanka
82+ booked in last 3 daysTest Overview
An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test is a blood test that detects inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the immune system's reaction to infections and injury. Erythrocytes are red blood cells. For an ESR test, the patient's blood sample is collected in a thin test tube to check how fast the blood cells sink to the bottom. Healthy blood cells fall slowly, but in the case of inflammation, the blood cells stick together to form a bunch. Such a bunch drops faster as it is heavier than the single, healthy blood cells. Thus, an ESR test shows the level of inflammation in the body. Conditions like infection, unexplained fever, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and arthritis cause inflammation. An ESR test is also used to monitor the existing health conditions that could be causing inflammation. It helps diagnose the severity of inflammation and study the effects of the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
ESR is a routine generic test that provides overall information of the body’s functioning and doesn’t indicate any specific condition. The advantage of ESR is the quick turnaround time and can rule out or indicate a presence of certain disorders and help the doctor in further diagnosis.
You might need an ESR test if you experience symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These symptoms can include:
- Joint pain or stiffness
- Pain in the shoulders
- Sudden weight loss
- Loose motions
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate is the rate at which red blood cells deposit at the bottom of the container (sediment) in a time period of 1 hour. Abnormal results indicate a wide range of disorder, without implying any specific condition or diagnose it.
