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

Inflammation can best be defined as the response of your body to issues such as an injury, infection, and many types of conditions. Broadly referred to as Erythrocytes sedimentation rate, the test would be done to keep a check on your red blood cells, also referred to as Erythrocytes. It will be analyzed how quickly red blood cells will separate from a blood sample so that the blood doesn't clot. In case you're suffering from inflammation, your red blood cells will clump together. RBCs will sink faster, thus also increasing the ESR. Your doctor may recommend treatment as high ESR levels are considered a dangerous situation for your health.

The ESR test is measured in millimetres of red blood cell sediment in one hour. The normal range of ESR is going to differ in different cases. In the case of males that are 50 years or below, the ESR normal range is 0-15 mm/hour. But if you're a male aged above 50 years, the normal range will be 0-29 mm/hour. In the case of females, it will be 0-20 mm/hour for females below 50 years and 0-30 mm/hour for females above 50 years of age.

In case you have symptoms of a disease that may shoot up ESR, you will have to do the ESR test without further ado. In case you're already diagnosed with a disease, it will become a must to do this test. The symptoms are as given below:
