  1. sedimentation rate

    Sedimentation rate, also known as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a type of blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour. It is used to detect inflammation in the body, which may be a sign of underlying medical conditions such as infections, cancers, or autoimmune diseases. It's not a specific test, so it can't pinpoint the exact problem, but it can help guide further testing and diagnosis. In a broader context, sedimentation rate can also refer to the speed at which sediment settles in a fluid, often used in geological, environmental, and industrial contexts.
