Overview

What is ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)?

An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test determines the presence of inflammation due to any injury, infection, or any other disease like an immune system disorder in the body. It measures the rate at which the erythrocytes (red blood cells or RBCs) settle down or sink to the bottom of a test tube.
