Overview
The ESR test measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube, indicating inflammatory activity. Elevated ESR levels may be observed in women during pregnancy and menstruation, as well as in older individuals. Conditions like headaches, joint pain, and weight loss may prompt an ESR test.
While high ESR values suggest an inflammatory response, false elevations can occur due to factors like anaemia or medication. If ESR readings are abnormally high, additional tests are recommended for a thorough diagnosis.
