An automated method for recording the Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The peroxydatic activity of haemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide catalyses the oxidation of TMB to a coloured product. Haemoglobin peroxidase has been termed a 'pseudoperoxidase'7 because, unlike true peroxidases which exhibit specificity for phenols, erythrocytes contain a peroxidase (erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase) specific for oxidation of reduced glutathione. This causes the...
متن کاملComparative Study between the Westergren and Automated Method for Determination of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
A comparative study between the standard Westergren and a new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was performed on 80 individual subjects. From this study, the comparison-of-methods plot automated method (X) and VS Westergren method (Y) gave the least square linear regression equation of Y=0.978 X + 0.64 (r=0.98). Precision analysis gave a coefficient ...
متن کاملComparative study between Westergren and modified microhaematocrit method for determination for erythrocyte sedimentation rate
To compare between standard Westergren and modified microhaematocrit method for determination for erythrocyte sedimentation rate Study design: A laboratory method comparative study. Subjects: blood samples from 80 individual subjects. For each subject, two methods for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination were performed. The first method was the Westergren method as a standard method and...
متن کاملA Comparison Between the StaRRsed Auto-Compact Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Instrument and the Westergren Method
BACKGROUND The Westergren method is the golden standard for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). All ESR methods should agree with the standardized method of the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH). Citrate samples are commonly used for ESR. This extra sample adds costs and can be inconvenient for the patient. Therefore, some new automated ESR analyzers use...
متن کاملErythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Measurement Using as a Rapid Alternative to the Westergren Method
INTRODUCTION Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) remains as one of the most reliable tests in clinical practices. Yet its use is time consuming and requires a large blood sample. The aim of this study was assessing a faster and reliable method of ESR estimation. METHODS An ESR estimation method was described and performed on 108 patients using capillary tube (micro ESR) and capillary periphe...
