Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test measures the rate at which red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle at the bottom of a test tube over a specified period, usually one hour. It is a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body.
This test is commonly used to help detect and monitor inflammatory conditions, infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic disorders. An elevated ESR may indicate the presence of inflammation, tissue injury, or disease activity, while normal values generally suggest the absence of significant inflammatory processes. ESR results are typically interpreted along with clinical findings and other laboratory tests for accurate diagnosis.
Normal range is between 0 to 22 mm/hr for men and between 0 to 29 mm/hr for women.
A level higher than 22 mm/hr for men and 29 mm/hr for women can be considered as a high ESR level.
ESR levels reduce following the liver coming back to the normal level of the physiology.
"Tiredness, fever, lack of energy are some of the most common symptoms of high ESR."
