Overview
Erythrocytes, often known as red blood cells, are the subject of the ESR test in Varanasi. This test will be conducted by a skilled professional from PharmEasy using a long, slender test tube. Its purpose is to determine the rate at which red blood cells settle or descend to the bottom of the tube. In ordinary circumstances, red blood cells have a slower settling rate.
The ESR test is vital for finding and keeping track of inflammation-related conditions. It helps diagnose issues like temporal arteritis, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and infections that cause body inflammation.
Doctors also use it to watch over autoimmune inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). If you have certain types of arthritis or muscle/connective tissue problems like polymyalgia rheumatica, your doctor may suggest this test.
Test Necessity
The ESR test is performed for various reasons, such as investigating unexplained fevers, assessing specific types of joint pain or arthritis, evaluating muscle-related symptoms, and address persistent headaches.
It is also utilised when patients present with vague, unexplained symptoms that require further clarification. Moreover, this test proves valuable in monitoring the treatment response of various illnesses, making it a versatile diagnostic tool.
As the sedimentation rate test alone cannot identify the underlying cause of inflammation in your body, it is commonly performed alongside other blood tests, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP) test.
Test Preparation
Typically, fasting isn't necessary before taking the test. However, if you're planning to conduct other tests on your blood sample, fasting may be required. Any specific instructions or requirements will be communicated by your provider through the PharmEasy app or website.
During the ESR Test
PharmEasy will dispatch an experienced phlebotomist who will swiftly and hygienically draw a small blood sample from a vein in your arm using a vein finder and a small needle. This process typically takes just a minute or two. The steps involve cleaning the skin over the vein, inserting the needle for blood collection, and covering the puncture site afterward to prevent bleeding.
