What Is an ESR Test?

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a vertical tube of anticoagulated blood (EDTA or citrate) over one hour. A small amount of venous blood is collected from your arm into an EDTA tube for analysis.

The ESR test helps detect the presence of inflammation in your body. While it cannot diagnose a specific disease, it serves as an important indicator that guides your doctor towards further investigation when inflammation is suspected.
