An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube. Generally, the faster the ...Web

1. INTRODUCTION. Currently, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) are the most widely used biomarkers for detecting the inflammatory burden. 1 ESR is determined by the rouleaux formation of the red blood cells (RBCs), which is induced by fibrinogen and it depends on the negative charge repulsion of the RBCs. Therefore, …Web
