The ESR, or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, test is a common blood test used in the medical field to measure the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube over a specific period. This test indirectly assesses inflammation levels in the body, as inflammatory proteins in the blood can cause red blood cells to clump together and settle more quickly. A higher ESR indicates a greater degree of inflammation, which can be caused by various conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and some cancers. While the ESR test is not specific to any particular disease, it serves as a valuable tool in helping doctors diagnose and monitor various medical conditions, guiding further investigation and treatment when necessary.
