What is esr in blood ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sed rate: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, how fast red cells sink in plasma, was known to hippocrates. If high, it suggests inflammation in the body, but it is not sensitive, not specific, and fraught with pitfalls in its performance in the laboratory today. It is a helpful adjunct in the workup of illness.
