ESR- Erythrocyte Sed Rate
ESR- Erythrocyte Sed Rate is a clinical biomarker on the Inflammation panel, reported in mm/hr. Standard reference range: Male 0–15 · Female 0–20 mm/hr. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 0–10 mm/hr.
What is ESR- Erythrocyte Sed Rate?
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over one hour; it is a non-specific marker of inflammation or disease activity.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mm/hr) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | Male 0–15 · Female 0–20 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 0–10 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets ESR- Erythrocyte Sed Rate
SomaVue maps every result for ESR- Erythrocyte Sed Rate against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
