HEMATROCIT
BERNAL GARCÍA DAYRA MONSERRAT
ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE
Also known as sed rate
is a test based on the speed with which the red blood
cells separate from the plasma and fall to the
bottom of a specialized test tube.
An ESR test can be used with other tests to help
diagnose conditions that cause inflammation. It can
also be used to help monitor these conditions.
If you have a condition that causes inflammation or
cell damage, your red blood cells tend to clump
together. This makes them heavier, so they settle
faster.
ESR NORMAL RANGE
HIGH LEVELS LOW LEVELS
A LOW ESR TEST RESULT MEANS
A HIGH ESR TEST RESULT MAY BE YOUR RED BLOOD CELLS SANK
FROM A CONDITION THAT CAUSES MORE SLOWLY THAN NORMAL.
INFLAMMATION THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY
CONDITIONS SUCH AS

ARTERITIS
ARTHRITIS A BLOOD DISORDER, SUCH AS:
POLYCYTHEMIA
SYSTEMIC VASCULITIS SICKLE CELL DISEASE (SCD)
POLYMYALGIA RHEUMATICA LEUKOCYTOSIS, A VERY HIGH
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEA WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT (WBC)

KIDNEY DISEASE

 HEMATROCIT
WHAT IS?

IS A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST DESCRIBES THE

PERCENTAGE, BY VOLUME, OF A BLOOD SAMPLE
OCCUPIED BY RED CELLS
TEST RESULTS SHOWING LOW OR HIGH HEMATOCRIT
LEVELS MAY BE SIGNS OF BLOOD DISORDERS OR
OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS
 NORMAL RANGE FOR
THIS TEST HEMATOCRIT LEVELS
IS USED ADULT MALES:
THIS TEST IS USED TO DIAGNOSE
ABNORMAL STATES OF HYDRATION 41% TO 50%
(FLUID LEVELS IN THE BODY),
POLYCYTHEMIA (EXCESS RED BLOOD ADULT FEMALES:
CELLS), AND ANEMIA (DEFICIENT RED
BLOOD CELLS). 36% TO 44%.
INFANTS: 32% TO
42%
NEWBORNS: 45%
TO 61%
HIGH LEVELS LOW LEVELS
A HIGH HEMATOCRIT LEVEL MAY BE SUSPECTED ANEMIA IS THE
A SIGN OF SEVERAL CONDITIONS, MOST COMMON REASON FOR
INCLUDING POLYCYTHEMIA VERA. HEMATOCRIT TESTING.
