A low erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed. rate or ESR) indicates that inflammation is low in the body "sed". rate or ESR is a measurement of the speed with which red blood cells fall in a test tube of blood. As inflammation in the blood goes up inflammatory substances attach to red blood cells making them heavier and causing them to settle more quickly. In healthy persons with no inflammation the "sed" rate is low. The "sed" rate doesn't point to any particular disease, but is a general indication of the amount of inflammation in the body. In lupus and polymyalgia rheumatica, the ESR often correlates with disease. uric acid being high can indicate anything from kidney problems to a predisposition to high uric acid content in the blood that needs to be monitored.

What does a chronically high sedimentation rate indicate?
A high sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates inflammation in the body somewhere. The sedimentation rate wil not indicate the cause of the inflammation. However a chronic sedimentation rat can indicate an Autoimmune problem like rheumatoid arthritis.
Is a 9 in sed rate high?
Sedimentation rate is a test used to diagnose inflammation in the body. Westergren method is one of the ways that sedimentation rate is evaluated. Normal sedimentation rate for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, females is 0-20
What does a high sedimentation rate indicate?
Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) Westergren method. An ESR of 100 shows that you have an elevated sedimentation rate and that you have a problem with inflammation. it does not however indicate what the cause of the inflammation is. The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimeters per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children. A sedimentation rate is blood test that can detect and monitors inflammation in the body. It is a measurement of the red blood cells (erythrocytes) settling in a tube over a given period of time. this test is referred to as an ESR. Red blood cells settle in the bottom of the test tube given time leaving leaving the blood serum visible above. The sedimentation rate is simply how far the top of the RBC layer has fallen (in millimeters) in one hour. The sedimentation rate increases with more inflammation.
What is a 6mm erythrocyte sedimentation rate?
It's normal. The standard range is 0-20 mm/hr.

No an ESR of 48 is high and indicates that there is some sort of inflammation in your body.

The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children.
What does sedimentation rate 1 mean?
sedimentation rates may vary from lab to lab with measurement methods, however normal sedimentation rates are considered to be up to 10 millimeters an hour in men and up to 20 an hour in women and the elderly. Sedimentation rates detect infection or inflammation. it can not determine the cause of the problem. and can give false positive readings in healthy people. If there are symptoms of for instance vasculitis or other autoimmune conditions further test may be initiated if the reading is high in order to come up with an effective treatment.
Was told my RA factor of 16.1 was high is this correct?

Will 99.4F will indicate fever?
99.4 is on the high side, but it may not be a fever, just your normal body temperature.
What does high Western Sedimentation rate blood test mean?
You probably mean Westergren. High sedimentation rates mean that the red cells clump easily together. This is can be caused by an infection/inflammation
A high or low acid number indicates good or bad?
Depends on what you are trying to do with the acid. Low acid number in mg KOH per gram of sample would be good if you were attempting to neutralize a material.
