The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a diagnostic test that measures the rate at which red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a tube of blood. The ESR test is a simple and non- invasive test that requires only a small sample of blood, usually drawn from a vein in your arm. The ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells sediment, or settle, in a tube of blood. The rate is influenced by the amount of protein, specifically fibrinogen, in the blood. Fibrinogen is a protein that helps the blood clot and is produced by the liver.During the ESR test, a small sample of blood is collected and placed in a tube that is then placed vertically in a machine called a Sedimentation Rate Analyzer. The rate at which the red blood cells settle to the bottom of the tube is then measured and reported in millimeters per hour (mm/hr).
