Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
In their article entitled: “The decrease in erythrocyte sedimentation rate related to general anesthesia”, Clin Hemorheol Microcirc 35 (2006) 459–462, Caglayan and co-workers have investigated the effects of general anesthetic agents on erythrocyte properties, reflected in changes in the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). In their introduction the authors referred to the one-hour ESR method ...
متن کاملErythrocyte sedimentation rate, an underestimated tool in chronic renal failure.
BACKGROUND Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is widely used in the general population. It has seldom been studied in patients with chronic renal failure. The purpose of this study was to assess its usefulness in haemodialysis patients. METHODS Forty-five haemodialysis patients with no evidence of acute or chronic inflammatory illness were studied. Nine were diabetic, and 12 used a non-biocompati...
متن کاملTemporal arteritis with normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is used to differentiate temporal arteritis from other forms of headache in the elderly. Though temporal arteritis can occur with a normal ESR, this is not generally appreciated in primary care. The case reported here is a 74-year-old woman with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis; her ESR was 22 mm/hr. Of note, her hematocrit was more than 40 percent, a co...
متن کاملErythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Cholera
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) has proved of the greatest use in the estimation of the activity or quiescence of chronic inflammatory disease. The mechanism of increase in the sedimentation rate is obscure, but experience has shown that the rate and amount of sedimentation is small when the destructive process is slight, and is markedly increased when the condition is active. Cholera ...
متن کاملErythrocyte sedimentation in cardiac failure.
It is generally believed that the erythrocyte sedimentation (E.S.R.) is retarded and tends to fall to normal when decompensation occurs in rheumatic fever and other heart diseases known to be associated with elevated values.2' 4, 5, 7. 9 Observations by McGinnis and co-workers,6 who excluded patients who presented evidence of other conditions known to lead to elevation of the E.S.R., however, d...
