What is the ESR (Westergren Method) Test?

The existence of inflammation is indicated by an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) lab test, but the reason is not determined. Inflammation in the body could indicate a persistent illness, immunological dysfunction, or other medical issues. It also aids in determining whether or not you have active disease.

For men and women under 50, the usual ESR readings are 15mm/hour and 20mm/hour, respectively. A flow rate of more than 100 millimetres per hour is deemed dangerous. A high ESR can be caused by various factors, including old age, kidney illness, autoimmune disease, and certain types of cancer. If no inflammation is present, an abnormally high ESR could suggest the presence of malignant tumours.

The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test is done as follows:
