Introduction: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are widely used laboratory markers of systemic inflammation. Objective: A thorough understanding of the similarities and differences between these two serological markers, including factors that affect measurements, is necessary for the proper utilization and interpretation of ESR and CRP.

The rate at which the sedimentation boundary moves is a measure of the sedimentation coefficient of the protein. The sedimentation coefficient depends on the molecular weight (larger proteins sediment faster) and also on molecular shape. Unfolded proteins or one with highly elongated shapes will experience more hydrodynamic friction, and thus will have smaller sedimentation coefficients than a ...

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) measures levels of inflammation in the body. When the body is inflamed, it starts producing abnormal proteins that make red blood cells (erythrocytes) clump together, says Stuart D. Kaplan, MD, chief of rheumatology at South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside, New York.

Rate of sedimentation is essentially a ratio – an amount of sedimentation per length of time – therefore the obvious strategy to use in determining it is first to measure the amount and the time independently, then to combine the values. The amount can be measured in terms of thickness or volume or mass per unit area.

An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a type of blood test that measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube that contains a blood sample. Normally, red blood cells settle relatively slowly. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation in the body.

A sedimentation rate is performed by measuring how long it takes red blood cells (RBCs) to settle in a test tube. The RBCs become sediment in the bottom of the test tube over time, leaving the blood serum visible above. The classic sedimentation rate test is typically performed in a calibrated narrow tube.

A sedimentation rate is common blood test that is used to detect and monitor inflammation in the body. The sedimentation rate is also called the erythrocyte sedimentation rate because it is a measure of the red blood cells (erythrocytes) sedimenting in a tube over a given period of time. Sedimentation rate is often abbreviated as "sed rate" or ESR.

Sedimentation Rate. Sedimentation rate (also known as erythrocyte sedimentation rate or ESR), is a crude measure of inflammation. It is calculated by measuring the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a test tube in one hour.
