Overview
ESR test is used to see how quickly red blood cells or erythrocytes in your blood settle in a test tube. Some proteins lead to the settling down of blood cells. These proteins are indirectly measured with the help of an ESR test. In case you're suffering from a disease or infection, the immune system is going to prepare to fight it. This increases the amount of proteins in the body, meaning that RBCs are getting clumped together. So if the test results show high ESR levels, it means that your body is currently battling against an infection or a disease.
Now the question is, how do the ESR levels increase? It can happen due to various health problems or conditions. It's more likely that these are going to be inflammatory diseases. It includes:
- Inflammatory infections that have spread across the blood in your body. They may affect bone, heart, skin, lungs, etc.
- Traumatic events or accidents
- Different types of cancers like leukaemia, myeloma, lymphoma, etc.
- Tissue injury or ischemia
- Kidney disease
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Autoimmune disorders
These are just some of the conditions that might cause ESR levels to increase. There might be some other conditions too depending upon gender, medical history, and overall health that may cause high ESR levels.
Test Necessity
If you're going through symptoms of high ESR levels, you should go for an ESR test and see what's causing the trouble. The symptoms may include any of the following:
- Headache
- Fever
- Sudden weight loss or weight gain
- Anemia
- Stiffness of muscles or joints

Test Preparation
No fasting is essential for this test. But in case you have to take up some other tests on your blood sample, you may need to fast hours before the test. You have to get in touch with your health provider to get further details.
During the ESR Test
The phlebotomist will come to your place once you have booked the test. A syringe needle is used for the collection of the blood sample. The vein used to draw the blood is located using a vein finder. A small amount of blood will be put in a collection tube for further analysis. It will take somewhere around five minutes.
