Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate near me in Nagpur

An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) lab test indicates the presence of an inflammation but does not locate the cause. Any inflammation in the body could be a sign of chronic disease, an immune disorder, or other medical conditions. It also helps to determine whether you have an active disease or not.

The normal ESR values for men and women below the age of 50 years are <15mm/hour and <20mm/hour, respectively. The level >100mm/hour is considered serious. There are multiple causes of a high ESR such as advanced age, kidney disease, autoimmune disease, and certain types of cancers. An abnormally high ESR could also indicate the presence of cancerous tumors, especially if no inflammation is found.
