Sed rate tell you if there is inflammation in the body. It does not tell you the reason for the inflammation but along with other test it can help diagnose problems. Sed rate can be elevated with many different conditions including with infection and auto immune disorders.
My Baso is 0.143 with SED Rate 13 HCT 40.2 and RDW rate 10.4 What does that mean?
500
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate) blood test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a test tube in one hour. The more red cells that settle to the bottom of the test tube within the hour, the higher the sed rate. The sedimentation rate indicates that there is inflammation somewhere in the system.
The sed rate only shows that there is inflammation in the body, not the cause or location. Any injury can increase sed rate.
Yes
no and she is hot tell here i sed that
on my test it said is 1.68 a prime number i sed yes but it was no :(
A sed rate (sedimentation rate) is the rate at which red blood cells settle out in a tube of blood under standardized conditions. A high sed rate usually indicates that an inflammation is present.
No. it is not necessary to fast before an ESR (erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test
McNally High School's motto is ''Nihil Sed Optimum''.
If it is doing the job it is meant to be doing then yes because it lowers inflammation. The lower the inflammation the lower the SED rate.
