The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1972
Factors that affect this frequently performed test are described, and a table of normal values is presented and explained. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is still considered to be a useful test in many circumstances.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate/Zeta Sedimentation Rate

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1986
Sedimentation rates are a vital laboratory adjunct to the clinical skills of the emergency physician. A patient with an elevated rate in the emergency department needs further evaluation and appropriate referral. If the test is markedly elevated, there is a 95 per cent chance of an infectious, inflammatory, or neoplastic process as the underlying cause.

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and Stress

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1979
ABSTRACT. The effect of a 75‐hour vigil on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), i.a., was studied in two experiments with 63 healthy male volunteers. The ESR was increased at the end of the vigil compared with pre‐exposure values. The increases did not correlate significantly with concomitant changes in serum triglycerides, free fatty acids ...

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rates in the Elderly

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1972
Erythrocyte sedimentation rates were run on 105 patients 50 years of age and older. The data show that the upper limit of normal should be raised to 40 mm/hr and to 60 mm/hr for those who are anemic.

THE ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1937
Although estimation of the rate of sedimentation of erythrocytes has proved to be a valuable laboratory aid in clinical medicine, it is not used as widely or as wisely as it should be used. There are two chief reasons for this. In the first place, it is erroneously regarded by many physicians as a difficult technical procedure.
