What it is

The sed rate measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a tube. A fast rate is a general sign of inflammation; it is used for conditions such as giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica and to follow them.

What the price covers

The price usually covers running the test. The blood draw (36415) is often billed as a separate line.
