The ESR test results are interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and diagnostic tests.
- Higher ESR values indicate a higher rate of red blood cell settling, which may be associated with inflammation or certain medical conditions.
- However, it's important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of a specific disease and further evaluation is required to determine the underlying cause of the inflammation.
- Additional tests and examinations may be needed to establish a diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment.
