A member asked:
Had bloodwork done on 16th lab didn't get to it until the 20th. sedimentation rate is usually high 90 this time it's 2. could this be because the blood wasn't tested right away. what other blood test results can be affected by taking this long?

ESR or erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a blood test that is not very specific, but often times is a marker used for inflammatory and infectious disease processes. It tests how fast red blood cells sink down a test tube. The result is typically adjusted for age
