I've been told by my doctor to get both an ESR and a CBC done. But a friend mentioned that ESR is actually a part of the CBC or Complete Hemogram. Can you clarify this for me? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I understand what tests I need.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is not a part of CBC (Complete Blood Count) or Complete Hemogram, although both tests are often ordered together; ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation or infection, whereas CBC provides a broader analysis of blood components, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and platelets.
