Test Result Interpretation
An ESR range above or below normal limits does not diagnose disease conditions. It simply detects a potential inflammation in the body. An abnormal ESR result gives an alert to the need for further investigation. The result of ESR may be a false positive with physiological variations.
Ranges
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 ESR normal range is as given below:
In males (50 years and below) | 0-15 mm/hour |
In males (50 years and above) | 0-29 mm/hour |
In females (50 years and below) | 0-20 mm/hour |
In females (50 years and above) | 0-30 mm/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.
