Overview
ESR is an acute-phase reactant that indicates the presence and severity of inflammation. It measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a blood sample. Elevated ESR levels can occur in conditions like infections, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, vascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, kidney disease, and certain cancers.
What is an ESR Test and Why is it Done?
An ESR test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is a simple blood test that helps detect inflammation in the body. Instead of pointing to one specific disease, this test gives a general idea if there is some inflammation or infection going on. A ESR test in Jaipur is often advised when symptoms are unclear but doctor suspects something inflammatory.
ESR itself doesn’t tell the exact cause, but it helps doctors decide if further tests are needed or not. It is commonly used along with other blood tests for better understanding.
ESR Test Parameters
The ESR test mainly checks one value.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): This measures how fast red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour. A faster settling rate usually means inflammation in the body. Higher ESR levels can be seen in infections, autoimmune conditions, or chronic diseases.

- Body pain or joint pain
- Unexplained fatigue
