Background. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a valuable laboratory tool in evaluation of infectious, inflammatory, and malignant diseases. Red blood cells in outside from the body precipitate due to their higher density than the plasma. In this study we discuss the IVIG effect on ESR in different diseases and different ages.Methods and Materials. Fifty patients under 12 years old who had indication to receive IVIG enrolled in this study. Total dose of IVIG was 2 gr/kg (400 mg/kg in five days or 2 gr/kg in single dose). ESR before infusion of IVIG and within 24 hours after administration of the last dose of IVIG was checked.Results. 23 (46%) patients were males and 27 (54%) were females. The mean of ESR before IVIG was31.8±29.04and after IVIG it was47.2±36.9; this difference was meaningful(P=0.05). Results of ESR changes in different age groups, 6 patients less than 28 days, 13 patients from 1 month to 1 year, 20 patients from 1 to 6 years old, and 11 patients from 6 to 12 years have been meaningful (P=0.001,P=0.025, andP=0.006, resp.).Conclusion. In patients who are receiving IVIG as a therapy, ESR increased falsely (noninflammatory rising); therefore use of ESR for monitoring of response to treatment may be unreliable. Although these results do not apply to neonatal group, we suggest that, in patients who received IVIG, interpretation of ESR should be used cautiously on followup.

Abstract Objectives The evidence supporting the role of circulating markers of inflammation in the pathogenesis of atria fibrillation remains controversial. This study investigated the levels of serum lipids, C-reactive proteins, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, prothrombin time, and platelet count in subjects with new-onset atria fibrillation (NAF), but with no established cardiac disease, in a Nigerian community. Methods The case control study involved a total of 200 subjects: 110 subjects with NAF and 90 apparently healthy subjects without AF, as control. AF was confirmed by a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), while excluding subjects with high risk. Blood samples from the subjects were analyzed for the following parameters: C-reactive proteins using ELISA method and serum lipids using an enzymatic, colorimetric method; erythrocyte sedimentation rate, by Westergreen method; platelet count using a Midray hematology auto analyzer; and the prothrombin time using a tissue thromboplastin method. Data collected from the result were analyzed using SPSS version 15. Results There was a significant increase in the levels of C-reactive proteins and ESR in subjects with NAF when compared with the control subjects. A significant increase was observed in the mean values of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins in subjects with NAF, while that of high-density lipoproteins was lower in NAF than in controls. There was no significant difference in the mean values of triglyceride in NAF and the control. Results also showed significantly reduced prothrombin time, with more platelet count in subjects with NAF. The result demonstrated that females (56.3%) had greater risk of developing AF than males (45.8%), while incidence of AF was observed to increase with age. Conclusion The results of the markers assayed suggest marked dyslipidemia, inflammation, and thrombogenesis in subjects with new-onset AF. Hence dyslipidemia and inflammation play critical roles in the pathogenesis of atria fibrillation.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which RBC sediment in a period of 1 hr. It is a common Haematology test that is a non-specific measure of inflammation and it became a common screening test worldwide for acute phase proteins and chronic diseases. The International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) recommended the Westergren method as the method of choice for ESR determination. TSC is almost exclusively used as the diluent of choice for setting up ESR, but some contemporary laboratories have resolved to use Normal saline (NS) as the diluent of choice while other set ESR using EDTA anticoagulated Blood (BLD) without any diluent. The objective of this study is to assess the comparison between saline diluted and undiluted EDTA with TSC as an anticoagulant in ESR detection and to find out any gender wise variations by using these anticoagulants. A total of 50 students were participated in this study. From each of the participants 5 ml of BLD was collected and it is then divided into 3 parts. 1.6 ml BLD to 0.4ml 3.8% TSC tube, 1.6 ml EDTA blood to 0.4 ml NS tube. 3rd tube with 2 ml EDTA BLD and set for ESR and obtained result within 1 hour. The Result is the mean +SD value of ESR were 19.48+5.7 mm/hr. in undiluted EDTA, 15.22+4.6 mm/hr. in saline diluted EDTA & 15.36+4.5 mm/hr. in TSC. The mean difference of ESR value between saline diluted EDTA with TSC BLD was 0 and it with undiluted EDTA was 4 mm /hr. The study indicates that there was a significant difference between ESR value with undiluted EDTA and TSC while diluted EDTA and TSC were there is no significant difference. The mean +SD of ESR value using undiluted, diluted EDTA and TSC in males were 16.20+3.3, 11.05+2.8, 11.29+2.6 and while it for females were 21.69+5.2, 17.36+3.8, 17.45+3.8 respectively. In conclusion, TSC is the best diluent to be used in contemporary lab to set ESR as compared to EDTA BLD. But we can use saline diluted EDTA as an alternative to citrate diluted BLD to set ESR and it also showed there is a gender wise variation in ESR using these anticoagulants.

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by rod-shaped bacteria (basil) with another name Mycrobacterium tuberculosis. Mycrobacterium tuberculosis enters the body then causes inflammation, inflammation and bacterial invasion which then induces liver cells to synthesize acute phase C-reactive protein protein (CRP). CRP will increase sharply after inflammation, as well as the formation of aggregates derived from the acute phase protein hormone which causes an increase in the Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship Erytrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and levels of C-Reactiv protein (CRP) in tuberculosis (TBC) patients. This research is an analytical descriptive study using cross sectional. Data collectors are done using the Non Random Accidental Sampling technique. The number of respondents in this study were 11 people with tuberculosis. Based on the results of this study it is known that TBC patients with smear negative as much as 7 people (63.6%) and TB patients with positive smear as much as 4 people (36.4%), both in TB patients with negative smear and positive smear both have levels of ESR not normal with an average ESR level in positive smear of 101.3 mm / hour and the average ESR level in smear negative is 20.8 mm / hour. All TBC patients with smear positive CRP levels (not normal) with an average mean value of CRP of 36 mg / L or an average CRP level in TBC smear negative patients of 0.9 mg / L. Based on the Pearson test results between levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) with C-Reactive protein (CRP) in tuberculosis (TBC) patients obtained a value of p <0.01 (0.000 <0.01). This shows a strong relationship between LED and CRP levels in TB patients

Abstract Objectives As one of the most widely used tests, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a measurement of sedimentation reaction in blood samples. Although the recommended method for ESR measurement is the Westergren method, this method has some disadvantages in comparison with automated ESR systems. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to compare Vision c with the Westergren method. Methods The Vision c automated ESR system and the modified Westergren method were compared using K3EDTA-containing tubes and citrated blood tubes from randomly selected 100 patients. Precision, bias, and interference calculations were performed. Results The mean difference between the Vision c (room temperature) and the modified Westergren method was 22.8 ± 26.6 mm/h (95% CI for the mean was 17.50–28.08 mm/h). The mean difference between the Vision c (18 °C) and the modified Westergren method was 27.4 ± 30.6 mm/h (95% CI for the mean was 21.3–33.5 mm/h). The calculated regression analysis equation was “y= 0.263 + 1.053x” and “y= −0.530 + 0.851x” for the Vision c (room temperature) and the Vision c (18 °C), respectively. The imprecision values ranged at 7.55–17.09%. According to our external quality control results, bias was 11.11 and 9.66 for the low- and high-level samples, respectively. Conclusions The Vision c automated ESR system has a comparable analytical performance with the modified Westergren method. The Vision c automated system may be utilized in ESR measurements with quality control evaluations. Nevertheless, temperature correction using Manley’s monogram causes an important negative bias and should be taken into consideration during the evaluation of the Vision c results.
