Is ESR 0 low, normal or dangerous? What does ESR level 0 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: April 21, 2026

Your ESR level of 0 is a Low ESR level.

An ESR level of 0 mm/hr usually means there is little to no inflammation in the body. It suggests good health. Low levels of ESR typically do not cause any symptoms and are not a cause for concern. This can be caused by polycythemia, sickle cell anemia, congestive heart failure, or certain blood disorders. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Low ESR levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 0.1 mm/hr and 14 mm/hr. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.

The normal ESR range for men is :0.1 - 14 mm/hr
