What is the difference between time performed sed rate and sed rate westergren? my tpsr is 2201 and my srw is 3 mm/hr. confused!!

Good question ? TPSR: I am unaware of the TPSR you refer to. The standard westergren sedimenation rate is run for an hour and this is done fresh in your physician's office and not sent to a reference lab. The normal is approximately 1/2 your age + 10 for women Thus 3 is very normal.
