The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a simple blood test used to detect inflammation in the body. It measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube over a specific period. An elevated ESR level may indicate the presence of infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or certain chronic diseases.
Although ESR does not identify a specific disease, it is commonly used along with other diagnostic tests to evaluate and monitor conditions such as infections, arthritis, respiratory diseases, and inflammatory disorders.
