The effect of sequestrene and heparin on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The Westergren method for the determination of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate has been conclusively shown to be more reliable than other methods (Gilmour and Sykes, 1951 ; Goldberg, Glynn, and Bywaters, 1952; Lewi and Clarke, 1954; Alexander and Andrews, 1957; Eastham, Denson, and Evans, 1958). Blood for a variety of haematological and biochemical investigations is commonly collected into W...
متن کاملA Comparison Between the StaRRsed Auto-Compact Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Instrument and the Westergren Method
BACKGROUND The Westergren method is the golden standard for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). All ESR methods should agree with the standardized method of the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH). Citrate samples are commonly used for ESR. This extra sample adds costs and can be inconvenient for the patient. Therefore, some new automated ESR analyzers use...
متن کاملEstimation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate of capillary blood; description of a new method.
Venous blood is necessary for the estimation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (E.S.R.) by the methods of Westergren (1921) and Wintrobe and Landsberg (1935), but venepuncture may occasionally prove difficult or impossible, owing to such factors as inadequate veins, obesity, and flexion deformities. A search was therefore undertaken for a reliable method of estimating the E.S.R. using capil...
متن کاملICSH review of the measurement of the erythocyte sedimentation rate.
In recognition of the need for a standardization of the measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), the International Council for Standardization in Haematology makes the following recommendations: (i) The reference method for measurement of the ESR should be based on the Westergren method, which is a specific test for the ESR, with modifications, (ii) The reference method for meas...
متن کاملComparative study between Westergren and modified microhaematocrit method for determination for erythrocyte sedimentation rate
To compare between standard Westergren and modified microhaematocrit method for determination for erythrocyte sedimentation rate Study design: A laboratory method comparative study. Subjects: blood samples from 80 individual subjects. For each subject, two methods for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination were performed. The first method was the Westergren method as a standard method and...
