- Abstract
Blood tests are a priority because they are a health barometer. ESR is a blood test which determines the rate of sedimentation of the red blood cells. It is considered a non-specific, inexpensive and simple method, used for a long time to help diagnose diseases associated with chronic or acute inflammation, including infections, cancer and autoimmune diseases. It gives indications that something is wrong in the body and leads the doctor to recommendations for extensive tests that can provide a precise diagnosis. The test is also indicated to check if a condition (inflammatory disease, cancer etc.) responds to a particular treatment.
