What this test is

This test is also known as a sedimentation rate or sed rate. It is a common blood test used to detect inflammation that may be associated with various conditions.

What it measures

  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate — reflects the rate at which red blood cells settle in a blood sample, indicating inflammation

What the test involves

A healthcare professional will collect a sample of your blood, typically from a vein in your arm, using a needle. The blood is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians often order this test to help diagnose inflammatory conditions, monitor their activity, or assess the effectiveness of treatment. It can be used as a general indicator of inflammation.

Preparation

Follow the specific preparation instructions provided by the laboratory where you will have your blood drawn. Some labs may require you to fast before the test.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as a number representing millimeters per hour (mm/hr). Reference ranges can vary significantly between laboratories, so it is important to discuss your results with your healthcare provider.

Before you go

  • Fasting requirements
  • Test turnaround time
  • Specific preparation instructions
