Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate - what does this mean
Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) is a laboratory test that measures the rate at which red blood cells (rbcs) settle to the bottom of a tube of blood over a period of time. it is often used to measure inflammation in the body, as rbcs settle faster when there is inflammation present. elevated esr can be caused by infection, autoimmune or rheumatic diseases, or certain cancers.
What happens during the disease - elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) is a measure of inflammation in the body and is caused by an increase in the production of proteins called fibrinogen and globulins which are released by the liver in response to an infection or injury. these proteins form a "matrix" that causes red blood cells to stick together and settle faster in the test tube, increasing the esr.
