Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test in Saharanpur - Price & Details

The body has red blood cells, or erythrocytes, and these cells have a unique shape, size, and thickness. If blood is added to a test tube, the erythrocytes get deposited at the bottom. The ESR test analyses the speed of this deposition, as a higher rate is indicative of an infection. If there is an infection, the ESRs will also clump together.
