Test Necessity
The ESR test is performed for various reasons, such as to investigate unexplained fevers, assess specific types of joint pain or arthritis, evaluate muscle-related symptoms, and address persistent headaches.
It is also utilised when patients present with vague, unexplained symptoms that require further clarification. Moreover, this test proves valuable in monitoring the treatment response of various illnesses, making it a versatile diagnostic tool.
As the sedimentation rate test alone cannot identify the underlying cause of inflammation in your body, it is commonly performed alongside other blood tests, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP) test.
Test Preparation
Typically, fasting isn't necessary before taking the test. However, if you're planning to conduct other tests on your blood sample, fasting may be required. Any specific instructions or requirements will be communicated by your provider through the PharmEasy app or website.
