\"ESR<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ESR test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)<\/strong> is a simple yet crucial blood test that helps detect inflammation in the body. It measures how quickly red blood cells (RBCs) settle at the bottom of a test tube within an hour. A higher-than-normal ESR may indicate infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic inflammatory conditions. Usually, the cost of an ESR test in India ranges from Rs 100 to Rs 300<\/strong>, depending on the diagnostic center and location. In many cases, doctors may also recommend a CBC ESR test<\/strong> for a more comprehensive analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
