Medical Conditions - High Esr

ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment when a sample is kept in a test tube. This test indirectly determines the presence of inflammation in the body. It is usually high when there is infection, anemia, pregnancy, and increases with age. Rheumatic fever, vascular diseases, inflammatory disease, and heart disease are some conditions where ESR is high.
