Description

ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test is a kind of blood test that helps to determine if you have any inflammation in your body. When our body's immune system reacts to an injury, infection and many other health conditions like immune system disorders, blood disorders, and certain types of cancers, inflammation is triggered. Erythrocytes are fully mature red blood cells. During the ESR test, the blood sample is placed in a thin, long test tube to see how long the erythrocytes take to settle at the bottom of the test tube. Normally, the red blood cells sink slowly. If there is an inflammation, the red blood cells stick together, forming clumps. Since they are heavy, they sink faster than a single cell. The speed of your test results shows how much inflammation you have. ESR test doesn't diagnose the cause of the inflammation. For the ESR test in Kanpur, you can book a test online with PharmEasy Labs.

An ESR test will let your doctor decide whether you require other tests to diagnose the cause of the inflammation.

A high ESR test result indicates that you may have:

Arteritis
Arthritis
Inflammatory bowel disease
Kidney disease
Infection
Rheumatoid arthritis or autoimmune diseases
Heart disease
Certain cancers
Systemic vasculitis
Polymyalgia rheumatica

Whereas a low ESR test result shows that you may have health conditions such as:

Blood disorders like polycythemia, sickle cell disease, leukocytosis
Heart failure
Certain kidney or liver problems

If ESR results are not normal, that doesn't always mean that there is a medical condition. Pregnancy, menstrual cycle, ageing, obesity, drinking alcohol regularly, and exercise all can affect an ESR result. So be sure to inform your doctor if you take any medicine or supplements.

Test Necessity

If you are suffering from any or some illnesses, such as fever, headache, joint/ muscle pain or stiffness, loss of appetite, unexplained weight gain/ loss, or anaemia, your doctor may suggest an ESR test. Your doctor may recommend another ESR test after a few months to see if your inflammation has cleared up with the medication.

Test Preparation

There is no need to fast for an ESR test but if your doctor prescribed other tests on the same blood sample then fasting may be needed before the test.

During the ESR Test

Once you have made an online booking for the ESR test using the PharmEasy app or website, a phlebotomist will be sent to your address. This is a simple blood test so a small amount of your blood will be drawn using fresh needles and syringes.
