1 is a non-specific indicator of inflammation
2 measures the rate at which red blood cells settle out of mixed venous blood
3 determination is based on protein electrophoresisThe erythrocyte sedimentation rate:
A if 1, 2 and 3 are correct
B if 1 and 2 only are correct
C if 2 and 3 only are correct
D if 1 only is correct
E if 3 only is correct
B is the answer and the winner is Eze.
Details Below:
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a non-specific test that indicates
conditions of inflammation, infection, malignancy and tissue necrosis or infarc-
tion. The test is a measure of the rate at which red blood cells settle out of
mixed venous blood over a specified period. The test requires that a blood
sample is aspirated into a calibrated sedimentation tube and blood is allowed
to settle usually for 60 minutes. ESR together with other indicators may be used
to evaluate disease progression.
