Test result interpretation
An ESR range above or below normal limits does not diagnose disease conditions. It simply detects a potential inflammation in the body. An abnormal ESR result gives an alert to the need for further investigation. The result of ESR may be a false posi...

Description
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is the rate at which red blood cells in anticoagulated whole blood descend in a standardized tube over a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation. To perform the test, anticoagulated blood is traditionally placed in an upright tube, known as a Westergren tube
