ESR is the short form of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate. The rate of Red Blood Cells to Settle down if you keep blood in any standard glass tube.
ESR is raised in many conditions like anemias ( low hemoglobin) and certain inflammatory conditions and infections.

It is a very general test, although it can be used (in part) as a differential diagnostic test for some illnesses such as Kawasaki's disease, temporal arteritis and SLE.
