During the ESR Test

Book the ESR test with PharmEasy Labs and a phlebotomist will arrive at your location to collect the blood sample. They use disposable sterilised needles and gloves, and a vein finder device. This device helps the phlebotomist locate the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The blood is stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then sent to the lab for testing.

ESR test means the rate of red blood cells settling down in blood plasma. The results of ESR are measured in millimetres of red blood cell sediment in one hour.

The normal values and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
