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.

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.

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 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.
