The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the plasma viscosity.
Certain factors are common to the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the plasma viscosity. Thus fibrinogen increases the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Gram, 1921 ; Greisheimer, Johnson, and Ryan, 1929) and Hardwicke, Ricketts, and Squire (1950) found that a direct logarithmic relation exists between the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the plasma fibrinogen concentration. Also fibrinogen ex...
متن کاملA comparison of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and plasma viscosity in detecting changes in plasma proteins.
The Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and plasma viscosity were compared in 114 patients and their correlations with total and differential plasma protein fractions were analysed. There is a linear correlation between these two screening tests. Higher correlation coefficients were obtained between the plasma viscosity and fibrinogen and alpha and gamma globulins than with the ESR....
متن کاملRelationship of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate to viscosity and plasma proteins in rheumatoid arthritis.
The best established laboratory test in the assessment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). It is a complex measurement, the major factor being variations in the plasma protein concentrations, but the number and shape of the erythrocytes also contributes substantially. At constant red cell concentration, the relative contributions of the plasma prot...
متن کاملPlasma viscosity or erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis?
Plasma viscosity (PV) has replaced the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as a routine laboratory test in many hospitals. The finding of a normal PV but raised ESR in a case of biopsy proved giant cell arteritis (GCA) cast doubt on this substitution in cases of suspected GCA. To assess the equivalence of PV and ESR in the diagnosis of this disease 40 suspected cases were prospectively investi...
متن کاملErythrocyte sedimentation, viscosity, and plasma proteins in disease detection.
In order to assess the relationships of erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR) and various acute phase reactants in diagnosing and following the remissions and exacerbations of various chronic diseases, multiple tests were performed on patients for whom an ESR was ordered. The Wintrobe and Westergren ESR, plasma and serum viscosity, hemoglobin, blood cell indices, fibrinogen, serum protein elect...
