ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR)
ESR is the measurement of the rate of sedimentation of red cells in anti-coagulated blood.
Blood is allowed to stand for 1 hr in an open-ended glass tube mounted vertically on a stand
Length of column of plasma above the red cells is measured in mm.
![Page 4: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Anticoagulated blood is drawn up into a tube of standardized dimensions and left in a vertical position for exactly one hourBy that time, the red cells would have separated and settled from the plasma.Upper plasma column is recorded by reading from the scale on the side of the tube.Measures the distance that RBCs will fall in a vertical tube over a given time periodInitial screening tool and also as a follow-up test – monitor therapy and progression or remission of disease
![Page 5: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Three definite phases:
• First or Lag Phase (10mins) – red cells form a characteristic rouleaux pattern (aggregation) and sedimentation is generally slow. (Pack of coins)
• Decantation Phase (40mins) – The rate accelerates in this phase; fast settling or sinking of RBCs
• Final Packing Phase (last 10mins) – slows again as red cell aggregates pile up at the base of the tube. There is slow sedimentation.

FACTORS AFFECTING ESR
1. Plasma factor2. RBC factor3. Technical factor
![Page 7: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PLASMA FACTORSIncreased fibrinogen increases rouleaux formation thereby increasing ESR
S. haptoglobulin , C - reactive protein & cholesterol also increases ESR
Albumin and lecithin decreases sedimentation i.e. decreasing ESR
![Page 8: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
RBC FACTORS
Primarily through changes in number and/or shape
Anemia responsible for increased ESR◦ Microcytes – sediment more slowly◦ Macrocytes – sediment faster
![Page 9: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Poikilocytosis retards ESR because abnormal shape hampers rouleaux formation
Anticoagulants – Sodium citrate & EDTA doesnot affect ESR
oxalates & heparin may affect

The method for measuring the ESR recommended by the International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH)
Based on that of Westergren, who developed the test in 1921 for studying patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
![Page 13: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CONVENTIONAL WESTERGREN METHOD
The recommended tube is a straight glass or rigid transparent plastic tube 30 cm in length2.55 mm in diameter. Bore must be uniformA scale graduated in mm extends over the lower 20 cm.
![Page 14: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
For the diluent, 3.8 g/dl Trisodium citrate used
Dilution – 1:4 0.25ml trisodium citrate : 1ml blood
Mix the blood sample thoroughly and then draw it up into the Westergren tube to the 200 mm mark by means of a rubber teat or a mechanical device
![Page 15: Esr, pcv, blood indices copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/58f28dfc1a28abd8588b4575/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Place the tube exactly vertical and leave undisturbed for exactly 60 min, free from vibrations and draughts and not exposed to direct sunlight.
Then read to the nearest 1 mm the height of the clear plasma above the upper limit of the column of sedimenting cells.
Westergren pipette filled with blood and placed vertically on the rubber cork in the rack
