At-Home ESR Testing for Schuylerville, NY Patients | Convenient Collection Options

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test is commonly used to evaluate inflammation in the body. Patients from Schuylerville may be advised to undergo this test to help detect conditions related to inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. The ESR test measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube, which can indicate the presence of an inflammatory process.

When preparing for an ESR test, there are generally no strict prerequisites. Patients can typically eat and drink normally before the test. However, it’s always good practice to follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate results.
