The westergren rack is a student physiology practical apparatus that holds the westergren tube and is used in the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR.

Black,The tubes are specially used for determination of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) by the Westergren's Method. The mixing ratio is 1 part citrate solution to 4 parts blood. ESR measurements refer to the Westergren method.
No an ESR of 48 is high and indicates that there is some sort of inflammation in your body. 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.
in tb esr increase very high than the normal range(>50mm/1st hr.) it can increase .100mm in 1st. hr.
To perform An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate or Westergren ESR, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. anticoagulated 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. It is a common hematology test, It is a simple glass tube with marking on the side to measure the layers formed when blood separates.
A normal value does not rule out disease. Normal values for the Westergren method are: Men 0 mm/hour-15 mm/hour; women 0 mm/hour-20 mm/hour; and children 0 mm/hour-10 mm/hour.
A normal esr reading is 1 to 12. A result of 77 means there is inflammation in the body.
what is precautions for high esr in blood counting
Eythro Sedimentation Rate This blood test measures how quickly your blood settles down in the test tube and is an indicator of inflammation in the body. It is also known as sed rate.
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. this is a test that indirectly measures the level of inflammation is in the body. normal readings are Adults, Westergren method Men under 50 years old-------less than 15 mm/hr Men over 50 years old-------- less than 20 mm/hr Women under 50 years old-- less than 20 mm/hr Women over 50 years old---- less than 30 mm/hr Children Westergren method, Newborn--------------------------0 to 2 mm/hr Neonatal to puberty------------3 to 13 mm/hr mm/hr. = millimeters per hour
