ESR

Erythrocyte sedimentation is an abbreviation of red blood cell sedimentation rate, which refers to the rate of red blood cell sedimentation under certain conditions. At home and abroad, the Wei's method is used to test erythrocyte sedimentation. The normal value for men should be below 15mm / h, and for women it should be below 20mm / h. In many physiological and pathological conditions, such as menstrual periods, those under 3 months of pregnancy, and those over 60 years of age, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate will increase, so the erythrocyte sedimentation test is non-specific, but the continuously increasing erythrocyte sedimentation rate shows pathological conditions such as infection , Inflammation, tumors, etc.
