How erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be used as an indicator of a pathological condition?
ESR is a test for inflammation it idicates a level of inflammation hower it will not Tel you what is causing the inflammation or where it is.
Can taking prednisone give a low SED rate test?
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.
Indicates the pressence of inflammation in the body by this elevation?
erythrocyte sedimentation rate
What is sed rate in the blood?
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.
What does low sed rate mean?
he erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate or Biernacki Reaction, is the rate at which red blood cells precipitate over a period of anhour. It is a test which is a measurement of inflammation. To perform the test, anti coagulated blood is placed in an upright tube, known as a Westergren tube, and the rate at which the red blood cells fall is measured and reported in mm/h. If you have a low rate in indicates that you have little or no inflammation in your body. A sed rate is non specific therefore it will not point to any particular condition.
What causes the sediment rate to go up in persons?
In general, the sed rate (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ) is a measure of inflammation present.
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.
What determines the rate of respiratioin?
Exercise, inflammation, excitement level, anatomy and medications can all affect the respiratory rate.
What is a sed rate?
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.
Can fractured tailbone cause high sed rate?
The sed rate only shows that there is inflammation in the body, not the cause or location. Any injury can increase sed rate.
When your test has a 79 sedimentation rate-westergren results what those that mean?
it indicates that you have some sort of inflammation. the normal sed rate for men is about 10 to 15 and in women it is a Little higher at 15 to 20. this test indicates that there is inflammation, however it does not indicate the cause of the inflammation. it is widely used for testing for inflammation in the case of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis where inflammation needs to be brought under control on order to stop damage that it can cause to joints and other tissue.
