Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test In Ranchi - Price & Details

The blood sample will be examined at PharmEasy labs to determine the exact condition of inflammation in your body. It's important to see if you're experiencing inflammation for all kinds of reasons. It will impact your RBCs in several ways. RBCs might cling together and form clumps, and this clumping will be detrimental for the rate at which RBCs sink inside a tube where a blood sample is placed. All in all, your ESR number is based on the rate at which your RBCs settle. In case RBCs settle at a faster rate, the ESR is bound to be higher.

While an ESR test may identify and measure inflammation in your body, it won't help determine the cause behind inflammation. This is the biggest reason the ESR test is not performed alone. You will have to take some other tests to get to the skin of your inflammation condition. To see if your current treatment plan is working, ESR may be required regularly, too. This test will help in diagnosing conditions such as temporal arteritis, cancers, infections, and autoimmune diseases.

The fluctuation in the cost of an ESR test is influenced by various factors. However, the usual price for an ESR test at PharmEasy in Ranchi is around INR 149 to INR 220. You can also compare ESR test prices in major Indian cities for a comprehensive understanding.
