What is Understanding Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate about?
The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in plasma, serving as a nonspecific indicator of inflammation. Factors affecting ESR include erythrocyte characteristics, plasma composition, and mechanical factors, with the test typically conducted using the Westergren or Wintrobe methods. Normal ESR ranges are 0-10 mm/h for males and 0-20 mm/h for females, with elevated rates indicating various conditions such as infections and autoimmune diseases.
