The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, females is 0-20 millimeters per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly.
When your sedimentation rate gets higher then normal it is an indication that there is a problem with inflammation somewhere in your body. This method will only tell you that there is inflammation and will not tell you what the cause f the inflammation is. In the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis it is one of several tests and observations used to finally come to a diagnosis.

What does a sedimentation rate of 45 mmhr mean?
The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimetres per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children. A sedimentation rate is raised when there is some sort of inflammation either as the result of infection or an autoimmune condition like Rheumatoid arthritis.
Who discovered sedimentation?
Sedimentation was discovered by Reuss in 1809. Sedimentation is the suspension of particles that settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier.
What does it mean if the sedimentation rate is 55 and c- creative protein is within normal?

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 does high sedimentation rate mean?
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.

What does the abbreviation ESR mean?
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
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

What is a sentence with the word sedimentation?
"Because the river flows so slowly, sedimentation has made it very shallow." "Sedimentation can fill the spaces in a logjam until it becomes a natural dam."
