Test Necessity
The doctor may recommend an ESR test if an individual experiences symptoms of acute or chronic inflammation, for example
- Tenderness, swelling, flushed skin, and a hot feeling at the site of the wound
- Body discomfort
- Abdominal or chest pain
- Joint stiffness
- Tendonitis and muscle pain
- Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, insomnia
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
If your ESR is high, your doctor may need your medical history, physical examination, and other tests to determine the root of your discomfort.
ESR tests can also help doctors see how well treatment for inflammation or infection is working.
Test Preparation
The ESR test does not require fasting. Let the doctor know before the test if you are currently undergoing any treatment or prescription.
During the ESR Test
For the test, a phlebotomist will collect a small sample of your blood from the vein in your arm which will be located with the help of a vein finder. The collection will happen in your home with a freshly unsealed needle and syringe. The blood sample will be transported in an ice box to prevent degradation.

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.
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.
