What is the normal value of ESR

summary

Now with the development of medicine, there are many ways to check the health of human body. ESR is a very common method, which can reflect some physical problems. Let's introduce the normal value of ESR.

What is the normal value of ESR

First, the method of examination is to put anticoagulant into the blood sedimentation tube and let it stand vertically, and the red blood cells sink due to the high density. The sedimentation rate of red blood cells is usually expressed by the distance of red blood cells sinking at the end of the first hour, which is called erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Second, the speed of ESR is related to plasma viscosity, especially to the aggregation of red blood cells. Erythrocyte aggregation between large, ESR is fast, otherwise slow. Therefore, ESR is often used as an indicator of erythrocyte aggregation. It can reflect some diseases in the body and is an important indicator.

The third: the normal value measured by Wei's method is 0 ~ 15mm / h for men under 50 years old and 0 ~ 20mm / h for women; 0 ~ 20mm / h for men over 50 years old and 0 ~ 30mm / h for women; 0 ~ 30mm / h for men over 85 years old and 0 ~ 42mm / h for women; and 0 ~ 10mm / h for children.

matters needing attention

In fact, there is another test method of ESR called Pan's method, but it is generally measured by Wei's method. Therefore, Pan's method is not introduced in detail. After ESR is well done, it should be compared with the normal value. If it is wrong, it should be treated symptomatically immediately.
