Get an Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) blood test at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West a non-specific marker of inflammation used to screen and monitor infections, autoimmune disease, and tuberculosis. No fasting needed. Pathologist-reviewed report by evening. 24×7 home collection.
The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a tube over one hour. Inflammation produces proteins that make RBCs clump and settle faster. ESR is a non-specific marker it does not identify the cause but flags ongoing inflammation. It is used to screen and follow-up tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vasculitis, infections, and certain cancers. Often paired with CRP for a complete inflammation workup.
Persistently raised ESR is an important supportive finding in TB workup, alongside chest X-ray and sputum tests
Used to monitor disease activity and response to treatment in autoimmune diseases
Rises with most significant infections; trend is more useful than a single value
Markedly raised ESR (often above 100) is a hallmark in temporal arteritis and PMR
Often raised in chronic anaemia and as a non-specific marker in chronic illness
Marked ESR elevation can be a clue confirmed with serum protein electrophoresis
Especially when over 2 weeks to support TB or autoimmune workup
Helps distinguish inflammatory from mechanical joint pain
Routine in TB screening alongside chest X-ray and sputum tests
Used to monitor RA, SLE, vasculitis, and inflammatory bowel disease
Combined with CRP, helps flag underlying inflammation or malignancy
Vital to rule out giant-cell arteritis (a treatable cause of vision loss)
Sometimes used to confirm absence of active infection before elective surgery
Trend over time is more informative than a single value
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Men < 50 years | Adult male reference | 0–15 mm/hr |
| Men > 50 years | Adult male reference | 0–20 mm/hr |
| Women < 50 years | Adult female reference | 0–20 mm/hr |
| Women > 50 years | Adult female reference | 0–30 mm/hr |
| Children | Paediatric reference | 0–10 mm/hr |
An ESR within reference range makes significant systemic inflammation unlikely. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Mild rise (20–40) is non-specific. Marked rise (above 50) suggests active inflammation, infection, autoimmune disease, or malignancy. Trend matters more than single value. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.

Truly appreciated the personal attention and professional approach during my aqua therapy sessions. The physiotherapist explained everything clearly. Highly recommended for anyone needing supervised pool-based rehab.
Started here after my knee surgery on my doctor's recommendation. The 1-on-1 sessions made a real difference and the team was supportive and patient throughout my recovery process. Worth every visit.
My mother has been visiting VRX Goregaon for arthritis-related sessions. The staff is patient, the centre is clean and well-maintained, and the pricing is transparent exactly what we were looking for.
Detailed initial consultation, no rushed appointments. The aqua therapy approach felt much gentler on my joints than regular gym workouts. Will continue here for the foreseeable future.
Easy to book, professional team, and a well-maintained therapy pool. I felt reassured by the close supervision throughout each session. Worth the visit if you need supervised aqua therapy in Mumbai.
Have visited multiple physio centres, but the depth of attention at VRX is genuinely different. They actually adapt the plan as you progress instead of giving everyone the same routine.
