An automated method for recording the Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The peroxydatic activity of haemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide catalyses the oxidation of TMB to a coloured product. Haemoglobin peroxidase has been termed a 'pseudoperoxidase'7 because, unlike true peroxidases which exhibit specificity for phenols, erythrocytes contain a peroxidase (erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase) specific for oxidation of reduced glutathione. This causes the...

متن کاملComparative Study between the Westergren and Automated Method for Determination of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
A comparative study between the standard Westergren and a new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was performed on 80 individual subjects. From this study, the comparison-of-methods plot automated method (X) and VS Westergren method (Y) gave the least square linear regression equation of Y=0.978 X + 0.64 (r=0.98). Precision analysis gave a coefficient ...

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 ...
