Inflammation
ESR
Also written as Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Extended panel — run periodically
What it indicates
How quickly red blood cells settle in a tube, which changes with inflammation.
Why a series helps
It changes slowly compared with other inflammatory markers, so a series is what shows the underlying trend.
What this page does not tell you
What a particular ESR result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
