What is the best way to distinguish between sciatica and a tumor?
The best way to distinguish between sciatica and a neoplasm is through checking the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Westergren Test) and use of appropriate imaging. Just performing a SLR will not distinguish between the two, as they will both have a positive test. Imaging studies are an essential part of the medical diagnosis, but even with these diagnostic tests, errors in conducting and interpreting imaging results may vary, symptoms may also result from involvement outside the area captured - which is why it is also important to run blood tests.
How can esr rate be controlled if the esr is raised to 130?
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. this is a test that indirectly measures the level of inflammation that exists at some point in the body.normal readings are;Adults, Westergren method Men under 50 years old-------less than 15 mm/hrMen over 50 years old-------- less than 20 mm/hrWomen under 50 years old-- less than 20 mm/hrWomen over 50 years old---- less than 30 mm/hrChildren Westergren method,Newborn--------------------------0 to 2 mm/hrNeonatal to puberty------------3 to 13 mm/hrmm/hr. = millimeters per hour.Depending on the cause of the inflammation ESR may be reduced through the use of anti inflammatory either steroidal or non steroidal and in some cases with disease modifying drugs that have an effect on the immune system.

How can you separate kerosene and water from sedimentation?
To separate kerosene and water from sedimentation, you can use a process called decantation. Allow the mixture to settle so that the sedimentation settles at the bottom. Carefully pour off the kerosene layer, leaving the water and sediment behind. You may need to use a separating funnel for better precision in separating the layers.
How dangerous can high esr can be?
An ESR is the same thing as a sedimentation rate. It shows inflammation somewhere in a persons body but is non=specific. That is, it does not saw where the inflammation is.Many Dr's do not use it often becaue of the non=specific aspect of the result.
How is erythcyte sedimentation rate TEST useful?
The ESR test us useful insofar as it gives the doctor treating an inflammatory condition like rheumatoid arthritis an idea of how the treatment being used is working.
