What is Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)?
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate is measured as part of a cardiac panel. Your ESR is normal.
What does a high Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate mean?
Elevated ESR is a non-specific sign of inflammation or infection. It rises slowly and falls slowly — useful for tracking chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
