3 PHASSES IN ESR
4 METHODS
30/06/2022 3
ERYTROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR)
Detects and monitors inflammation
(Rheumatoid Arthritis, Infection, Malignancies)
Non-specific measuremennt
• Not recommended for screening inflammatory conditions (asymptomatic)
low in specificity & sensitivity

ESR and Inflammation Mechanism

First factor: Red Blood Cell
RBC – size and mass
Larger particle = faster fall
• Macrocytes
increased sedimentation
• Microcytes slower
sedimentation Normal RBC
negatively charged
repel each Abnormal RBC
other • Decrease negative charge cause
rouleaux formation
• Rouleaux = larger mass = increase
sedimentation
• Agglutination = increased cell mass
= increase sedimentation

• Fibrinogen • Accelerates
• More viscous
• 𝛼 − 1 𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑛 Increased ESR
slower ESR
• 𝛽 − 2 𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑛 sedimentation
• Less viscous
• 𝛾 − 𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑛

• Next 40 minutes
2.Decantation
Phase • Period of more rapid settling
• Constant RBC sedimentation
• Last 10 minutes

Methods of ESR Determination
• Westergren Method
• Modified Westergren Method
• Wintrobe Method
• Microsedimentation (Landau) method
• ZETA sedimentation ratio (ZSR)
• Automatic method
• Westergren method for ESR estimation is widely used method -->
Recomendation method by International Council for Standardization of
Hematology (ICHS) (1973)

Westergren Method
Westergren Tube
• Long tube (30cm long)
• Open on both ends
• Bore is 2.5 mm in diameter
30 cm • Calibration up to 200 mm
• Holds 1 mL of blood
Read after 1 hour and 2 hours
• Most sensitive method for serial study

Referred to as mESR

Conclusions: Low ESR/high CRP at diagnosis could not only estimate the simultaneous high
BVAS but also predict all-cause mortality during follow-up in AAV patients.

ESR and CRP both play an important role in clinical practice. In certain
disease states, one may be a more favorable tool to use over the other. It
is important to take note of the situations during which it is advised to
obtain both, and those during which it would be redundant to do so.
Most importantly, one must never forget that these markers are useful
only if they are used as adjuncts to clinical history and physical exam.

ESR and CRP in Schizophrenia

TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• ESR is a nonspecific test, but this is one of the best tests to
find any kind of abnormality in the body.
• Whenever you find raised ESR, never ignore it but have a
thorough workup of the patients.
• It definitely shows some underlying disease.
• Using ESR and CRP simultaneously increase the sensitivity.
