Frequently Asked Questions
Why ESR Blood test is Done?
An ESR blood test is done to detect infection and the progression of the disease.
Why do doctors ask for ESR Test?
In the case of a minor infection or fever, the doctor may ask for an ESR Test.
What does ESR Test show?
The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test is a measure of the rate at which red blood cells settle in a vertical tube over a specific time period. It is a non-specific indicator of inflammation in the body. The ESR test does not provide a specific diagnosis but helps to detect the presence and intensity of inflammation. It is commonly used as a screening tool to identify underlying inflammatory conditions, infections, or autoimmune disorders. The ESR test can also be used to monitor the progress or response to treatment of certain diseases.
What causes raised ESR?
Raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) can be caused by inflammation, infections, tissue damage, pregnancy, and aging.
Is high ESR good or bad?
A high ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is generally considered a marker of inflammation in the body. While it is an indicator that something is happening in the body, it does not provide specific information about the underlying cause. Therefore, a high ESR is not necessarily good or bad on its own. It indicates the need for further investigation to determine the underlying cause of inflammation. A healthcare professional can interpret the ESR result in the context of the individual's symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
What are the risks involved with the ESR test?
The ESR test is a relatively risk-free procedure that doesn’t involve any significant complications.
Do I need to take special precautions before the ESR test?
There is no special preparation or requirements for the test. It is a non-fasting test and you can take the test whenever it is convenient for you. However, it is crucial to remember that ESR levels might change due to certain drugs, leading to erroneous findings. Medications such as steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) might cause falsely low ESR readings. Before undergoing the test, you should visit your doctor and inform him of any drugs you are taking.
Can I get a medical consultation at Redcliffe Labs?
We provide free medical consultation to help analyse the ESR results. Redcliffe has tied up with experienced doctors and medical professionals to help our patients and clients get the best medical and diagnostic facilities under one roof.
What is an ESR test used for?
An ESR test, also known as the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate blood test, is used to check for inflammation in the body. It doesn't diagnose a specific disease, but it helps doctors understand whether your body is fighting an infection, dealing with an autoimmune condition, or experiencing chronic inflammation.
How is the ESR test done?
The ESR blood test is performed when phlebotomists collect a blood sample from your veins. The blood is then placed in a special tube to see how quickly the red blood cells settle at the bottom. At Redcliffe Labs, this process uses standardized methods and automated equipment that ensure consistent, accurate readings.
What is the normal ESR level in a blood test?
Normal ESR levels vary slightly depending on age and gender. Generally, men have a lower normal range compared to women. For most adults, the ESR range is 0-20 mm/hr in men and 0-30 mm/hr in women. Your doctor will compare your result with these ranges and your symptoms to understand what it means for your health.
Is fasting required for an ESR test?
No, you are not required to fast to get your ESR sample collected. You can take the test at any time of the day, and eating or drinking beforehand doesn't affect the results. Redcliffe Labs offers flexible ESR testing slots, so you can book it at a time that fits your routine.
What does a high ESR level indicate?
A high ESR level usually indicates inflammation or infection in the body, such as conditions like infections, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. While a high ESR does not confirm a diagnosis on its own, it signals the need for further tests. You can book your ESR test along with other tests, such as CBC, depending on your doctor's recommendation.
Can ESR levels return to normal on their own?
Yes, ESR levels can return to normal once the underlying condition resolves. If the inflammation or infection improves, ESR values naturally come down. Sometimes lifestyle improvements, such as better sleep, hydration, and stress management, also help. If your ESR remains persistently high, doctors may recommend additional tests, which you can easily book at Redcliffe Labs.
Is the ESR test painful?
The ESR test is not painful, but you may feel a quick, mild prick when the needle goes in. The procedure is very brief. Redcliffe Labs' trained phlebotomists ensure a smooth, gentle sample-collection experience, whether at the lab or through home collection.
What is the cost of an ESR test in Pune?
The cost of an ESR test at Redcliffe Labs in Pune is INR 119, making it affordable so more people can access routine health checkups without hesitation. Prices may vary depending on offers or packages, but they typically remain budget-friendly. You can check the latest price and book directly through the Redcliffe Labs website or app.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for an ESR test?
No, you don't need a doctor's prescription to book an ESR test at Redcliffe Labs. Many people choose to get it done if they're feeling unwell, have persistent fatigue, or want to check if there's inflammation in the body. However, you may consult a doctor later to interpret the results if needed.
Can ESR be high due to stress or infection?
Yes, both stress and infections can raise ESR levels. Infections, whether viral or bacterial, are one of the most common reasons for a temporary rise. Emotional or physical stress may also influence inflammatory markers. Redcliffe Labs ensures accurate testing so your doctor can identify whether the rise is significant or linked to a temporary issue.
How accurate is the ESR test?
The ESR test is reliable for detecting inflammation, although it is not specific to a single disease. At Redcliffe Labs, we use standardized testing methods, calibrated analyzers, and strict quality checks. This ensures your results truly reflect your current health status and can be trusted for further evaluation.
Can an ESR test detect cancer or serious diseases?
An ESR test alone cannot diagnose cancer or any severe disease. However, extremely high ESR levels may indicate a significant underlying condition, such as a severe infection, an autoimmune disease, or, in rare cases, certain cancers. To confirm a serious condition, doctors usually advise additional tests.
When will I receive my reports?
At Redcliffe Labs, we prioritize timely delivery of your health reports. Typically, you can expect to receive your reports within 10 hours after sample collection. We strive to provide your results as promptly as possible, ensuring you stay informed about your health status.
