An erythrocyte sedimentation rate checks for inflammations in the body. Inflammations can be due to injuries, infections or many conditions in the body. ESR test can also indicate certain cancers and blood disorders.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Protein, Total - Spot Urine (Strip Method) Test or Take a VDRL Test (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) Test
