High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

Polymyalgia Rheumatica is a syndrome with a self-limited course, which affects mainly on the elderly persons. The chief complaints consist of pain and stiffness of the shoulders and the pelvic girdles with constitutional symptoms, plus a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein. The course can be shortened by corticosteroids.

This chapter in the Oxford Handbook of General Practice explores haematology in general practice. It covers full blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It explores diagnosis and initial investigation of anaemia, iron deficiency anaemia, haemoglobinopathies, bleeding and clotting disorders, and anticoagulation. It examines haematological malignancy, acute leukaemia, chronic leukaemia and myeloproliferation, lymphoma, immune deficiency, and allergy.

High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

Abstract We report a rare finding: IgM kappa and Bence Jones lambda double gammopathy in serum of a 80-year-old man with untreated symptomatic multiple myeloma. The unusual findings are confined to the laboratory studies demonstrating also a Bence Jones lambda proteinuria, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (113 mm/h), and anemia. The synthesis of the different light chains seems to occur in separate cellular clones.
