ESR Price in Bangladesh

What is ESR?

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is a blood test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in an hour. It indicates inflammation in the body.

Elevated ESR levels may suggest infections, autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), or other inflammatory conditions.

It is a non-specific test and often used alongside other investigations to diagnose and monitor diseases.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
