What Does SR Stand For?
SR stands for Sedimentation Rate
Sedimentation Rate (SR) is a medical laboratory test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over a specified period, typically one hour. It is an important diagnostic indicator used to assess inflammation, infection, and the presence of certain diseases. Elevated SR values may suggest ongoing inflammatory processes or other medical conditions, while normal values can help rule out such issues. This test is often used in conjunction with other clinical evaluations to provide a comprehensive understanding of a patient's health status.
