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.
