Know More About The Test
A quick info on ESR test
Overview
Erythrocytes are red blood cells that have a specific shape, size, and thickness. Due to this property, when erythrocytes are added to a test tube, they settle at the bottom. If there is an infection, the RBCs deposit at the bottom at a faster rate. The ESR test checks this speed of deposition. Also, if there is an infection, the erythrocytes clump together.
