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.
(on prescription): Seen on a prescription, q.d. (or qd) means one a day (from the Latin quaque die). The abbreviation is sometimes written without a period in capital letters as QD.

Other examples include: 1  b.i.d. (bid or BID) is twice a day; b.i.d.. stands for bis in die (which means, in Latin, twice a day).  t.i.d. (or tid or TID) is three times a day ; t.i.d. stands for ter in die (in Latin, 3 times a day).
