ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Erythrocytes are red blood cells. This test looks at how quickly the red blood cells sink to the bottom of the test tube. Inflammation is the response of the immune system to injury, infection, and many other health conditions. Inflammation causes red blood cells to stick together forming clumps which deposit easily. The rate of sedimentation indicates the intensity of the inflammation. The higher the ESR number, the higher the severity of the inflammation. If your ESR level is high that means you may have a medical condition causing inflammation.
The ESR test along with other tests diagnoses many inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, vasculitis, certain types of cancers etc.
