ESR – Private Testing in London
The ESR is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £38. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 1 day.
The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube over one hour. A faster rate indicates inflammation somewhere in the body.
Who Should Consider the ESR?
Individuals with suspected temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, or other inflammatory conditions. Those with unexplained symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or joint pain. Patients monitoring chronic inflammatory diseases.
ESR responds more slowly than CRP. It rises gradually and may remain elevated for weeks after inflammation resolves. It is particularly useful for monitoring temporal arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica.
A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture, a straightforward procedure that typically takes around five minutes. Our clinic is on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 2362.
