An ESP, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube containing blood. A higher than normal ESR can indicate inflammation, infection, or other medical conditions, as it reflects the presence of proteins in the blood that increase with inflammatory processes. However, it is a non-specific test and must be interpreted along with other clinical findings and tests.
