Sed rate (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) Overview. Sed rate, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a blood test that can reveal inflammatory activity in your body. A sed rate test isn't a stand-alone diagnostic tool, but it can help your doctor diagnose or monitor the progress of an inflammatory disease. When your blood is placed in a tall, thin tube, red blood cells (erythrocytes) gradually settle to the bottom. Inflammation can cause the cells to clump.
Updated April 14, 2017. A sed rate, short for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a blood test that detects nonspecific inflammation in the body. Nonspecific means that the sed rate test does not identify the source of the problem or illness which is causing the inflammation.
