An inflammatory marker is a substance in the body that indicates the presence of inflammation, often signaling an underlying health issue. Common examples include C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and certain cytokines. These markers can be measured through blood tests and are used to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory disorders. Elevated levels typically suggest an ongoing inflammatory process.

What does ESR measure?

ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the rate at which red blood cells settle in a blood tube. It is a non-specific marker for inflammation in the body, and can be elevated in infections, inflammatory states and some malignancies. It is often used to help diagnose and monitor disease activity of rheumatological conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis like Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Sed rates are normally lower for men (0-10) compared to women (0-20) and can top 100 in severe inflammatory states.
