Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a simple blood test used to detect and monitor inflammation in the body. While it doesn't pinpoint the exact cause, it is a vital "signal" for doctors to investigate further.

What is the ESR Test?

This test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) sink to the bottom of a test tube. When inflammation is present, certain proteins cause red cells to clump together and sink faster than normal.

Why get tested?

  • To screen for unexplained fever or joint pain.
  • To monitor chronic inflammatory conditions like Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis.
  • To investigate symptoms of temporal arteritis or vasculitis.

Age/Gender Normal Range
Men (<50 years) 0 - 15 mm/hr
