A lavender top tube is typically used to draw an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) test.
The proper order of draw for a syringe method is: Blood culture tubes Coagulation tubes Serum tubes Heparin tubes EDTA tubes Glycolysis inhibitor tubes
lavendar
The pair of tubes with fingerlike projections that draw in the egg in female reproductive system are called fallopian tubes. They are responsible for transporting eggs from the ovaries to the uterus for fertilization.
Black top (sodium citrate tube) or light blue tube. They both contain sodium citrate. I failed this question on my final, I knew a black top tube is used but it was not given to me as a choice. I did not think hard enough to come to the conclusion that a light blue tube would be another option.
Syringe
Heparin
How is ESR affected by anaemia? In anemia hematocrit is reduced and as a result the velocity of the upward flow of plasma is causing the red blood cell aggregates to fall faster. Macrocytic red cells that have a smaller surface-to-volume ratio also settle more rapidly.How is ESR affected by Menstruation? ESR is not effected by menstruation.How is ESR affected by kidney disease? ESR is raised as a result of the presence of Infection, Inflammation, Malignancy. As one of these symptoms are likely to be present it would lead to a raised ESRHow is ESR affected by thyroid disease? Unless there is Infection, Inflammation, Malignancy the ESR would remain unaffected.How is ESR affected by cancer? ESR becomes raised where there is a malignancy.How is ESR affected by Age? ESR becomes higher with ageHow is ESR affected by homorne disorder? ESR is not affected by hormone levelsHow is ESR affected by infections? ESR becomes raised when infection is present.How is ESR affected by sex? ESR is naturally higher in women than in men.How is erythrocyte sedimentation rate affected by inflamation? ESR becomes raised when infection is present.
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.
red top for almost all bio-chemistry tests lavender top for almost all haemotological tests sky blue top for clotting factor such as prothrombin time grey top for glucose test blacktop for ESR
Capillaries
Iron deficiency can lower the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) by reducing the production of acute phase proteins involved in inflammation, leading to decreased aggregation and settling of red blood cells in the test tube. This can result in a falsely low ESR reading and may mask the presence of underlying inflammatory conditions.
