Q

erythrocyte sedimentation rate

The test depends on the fact that in the blood to which ___________ has been
added, the red corpuscles sediment until they form a packed column in the
lower part of the tube or container

Q

What are the stages in ESR

A
  1. initial period of aggregation / rouleaux formation
  2. stage of fast setting
  3. final period of packing
22
Q

at what time mark does the rouleaux formation occur in ESRfi

A

First ten minutes

23
Q

when does ESR fast setting occur?

A

40 minutes

24
Q

when does the final period of packing occur in ESR

A

LAST TEN MINUTES

25
Q

When do you check the values of ESR again?

A

after an hour

26
Q

reading the result less than an hour may cause a false (increase / decrease) of the ESR value

A

decrease

27
Q

reading the result beyond an hour may cause a false (increase / decrease) of the ESR value

A

increase

28
Q

What is the importance of ESR

A
  1. Used as an index of the presence of an active infection
  2. measures the suspension stability of RBCs
  3. Indicates abnormal concentration of fibrinogen, globulin, and other plasma proteins
29
Q

T or F

under normal state, RBCs do not stick together as they are negatively charged

A

T

30
Q

T or F
when proteins (positively charged) are increased, it will facilitate the formation of Rouleaux

A

T

31
Q

increased rouleaux will also increase/decrease the ESR value

A

increase

32
Q

increased albumin will increase/decrease ESR

A

Decrease

33
Q

which one is more preferred for ESR

a. Wintrobe-Landsberg
b. Wesetergren

A

B
