Overview
Erythrocytes can be referred to as red blood cells. The ESR test will be done by a seasoned expert from PharmEasy with the help of a tall and thin test tube. This test will measure how quickly the red blood cells settle or sink to the bottom of the tube.
In normal terms, it takes time for red blood cells to sink. But when you're suffering from inflammation, they are brought together in clumps and, therefore, sink faster. This is not a good situation as it means that you're having a medical condition that's causing inflammation. Generally, the ESR test alone cannot diagnose the reason behind inflammation. You will have to go for some other tests like CRP test, PCT test and PV test.
This test will also be an indicator of conditions like unexplained fever, arthritis, vasculitis, acute and chronic infections, cancers and IBS. Once the test reports come out, it can be seen if there's an existing medical condition, which will give the doctor a clear picture of inflammatory disease progress.
Test Necessity
A particular kind of test is always conducted based on certain symptoms. The ESR test is no exception either. Therefore, it will become necessary for you to go for an ESR test if you're facing any of the following symptoms:
- High and unexplained fever
- Severe headaches
- Stiffness in joints
- Loss of weight
- Neck or shoulder pain
- Loss of appetite
- Anemia
Any of these symptoms will make it necessary for you to enter the website of PharmEasy and book the test right away.
Test Preparation
Generally, no fasting is required before going for the test. But if you need to conduct other tests on your blood sample, fasting might be needed. You should contact the experienced phlebotomist beforehand to know what's the need of the hour. Your provider will let you know if there are any special instructions to follow.
During the ESR Test
An experienced phlebotomist will take your blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. The vein is located using a vein finder. A small amount of blood will be collected in a clean collection tube. Everything is done hygienically so that there's no issue with the results later on.
