Service Description
Walk in or book online for your Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test in Tucson today. About This Test The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measures the speed at which red blood cells settle in a vertical test tube over 60 minutes. When systemic inflammation is present, acute-phase reactant proteins coat red blood cells and cause them to aggregate and fall faster — an elevated ESR signals that active inflammation exists somewhere in the body, even when symptoms are vague or nonspecific. ESR is an indirect, non-specific inflammatory marker: it confirms that inflammation is elevated without identifying its source. It's frequently ordered alongside hs-CRP for a stronger two-marker inflammatory picture, and used to track disease activity in known conditions over time without the expense of repeated imaging. Who This Test Is For Anyone with persistent joint pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms that suggest an autoimmune or inflammatory process. People managing rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or polymyalgia rheumatica who need a routine activity check. Those with recurring low-grade fever, night sweats, or chronic symptoms without a confirmed diagnosis. Anyone who wants objective inflammatory markers before a rheumatology or internal medicine appointment. What to Expect & Preparation Preparation: No special preparation needed.
