Description

The ESR Test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube over one hour. This simple blood test helps detect inflammation in the body, which can be associated with infections, autoimmune disorders, or other inflammatory conditions.

What It Measures:

  • Sedimentation Rate: Determines how quickly red blood cells settle in a blood sample. Elevated rates may indicate inflammation or underlying health issues.

Why It’s Important:

  • Indicator of Inflammation: Useful for identifying conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, infections, or certain cancers.

  • Monitoring Disease Activity: Helps track inflammation in patients with known inflammatory disorders and evaluate treatment effectiveness.

  • Early Detection: Can detect inflammation before symptoms appear, allowing timely medical intervention.

Convenient Testing:
No doctor’s visit required. Available via at-home blood collection or at our Patient Service Centers (PSCs) in Central Florida. Nationwide testing is also offered for individuals outside the region.
