ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) blood test with home sample collection availability.
ESR is a non-specific inflammation marker that reflects the tendency of red cells to settle faster in inflammatory states. ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) is a diagnostic laboratory test that measures ESR in relation to inflammatory and immune-response activity. It is processed using standardized lab methods to support clinically meaningful reporting.
It is used as a supportive marker in chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and infection workup.
Raised values suggest inflammatory activity but do not identify a single disease by themselves. This test helps detect abnormal patterns related to ESR and may indicate whether further evaluation is needed for inflammatory and immune-response activity. It is interpreted with history, symptoms, and related reports.
People with prolonged fever, joint symptoms, autoimmune suspicion, or chronic inflammatory complaints.
