متن کاملValue of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate as a screening test.
as a routine screening test. Borchgrevink, Heist0, and Reimers Reksten (1965) found 41 (2 per cent.) of 2,205 Norwegian male blood donors with an ESR over 20 mm./hr; nineteen of these showed a persistent elevation.

متن کاملClinical significance of extreme elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Charts of 1006 consecutive outpatients were reviewed to ascertain the cause of extreme elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (greater than or equal to 100 mm/h) and the sensitivity of marked ESR elevation in patients with disorders commonly reported to cause ESR elevation. Prevalence of ESRs of 100 mm/h or more was 4.2%. Infection was the most common cause (33%), with malignant ...
