The "Unexplained" High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [PDF]
Model systems demonstrate that progression to ESRD is driven by progressive podocyte depletion (the podocyte depletion hypothesis) and can be noninvasively monitored through measurement of urine pellet podocyte mRNAs. To test these concepts in humans, we analyzed urine pellet mRNAs from 358 adult and pediatric kidney clinic patients and 291 controls (n=

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate in syphilis. [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was studied in 520 men and 202 women with syphilis. It was raised in 66-6 per cent. of sero-negative primary cases, 80 per cent. of sero-positive cases, 100 per cent. of secondary cases, 80 per cent. of early latent cases, and 73-9 per cent. of late latent cases. It was also raised in sixteen out of seventeen cases of

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate: Journey Verifying a New Method for an Imperfect Test.
The rate of sedimentation of blood-formed elements in a predetermined amount of time, also known as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is used around the world by many clinicians in an effort to assess acute inflammatory response. ESR results have
