    Sedimentation rate (sed rate) is a type of blood test commonly used to screen for inflammation. It is a screening test and is not used to diagnose a specific disease or condition. Rather, sed rate, also called the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is used along with other tests to help physicians determine what might be causing inflammation in the body.
