Overview
As they have a unique shape, size, and thickness, red blood cells are useful in identifying inflammation. Once they are added to a test tube, they test to settle at the bottom. The speed of this deposition helps to identify infections, as a higher speed than normal means that the body has some kind of inflammation. In the presence of infections, the erythrocytes tend to clump together. However, high ESR levels do not always indicate inflammation. Ageing, menstruation, and pregnancy can affect the test results as well. Additional tests will have to be done.
