1
If taken for blood placed in a glass tube, which stands vertically under the action of gravity, the red cells will settle to the bottom of the tube. The speed of their subsidence is the speed of separation of blood into two layers: the upper one consisting of a transparent plasma and the settled red blood cells. ESR is measured in millimeters per hour (mm/hour).
2
Consider the fact that the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation rate in women ranges from 3 to 15 mm/h men 2-10 mm/h in newborns rate amount - 0-2 mm/h, from infants to six months is 12 to 17 mm/h in pregnant women erythrocyte sedimentation rate sometimes rises to 20-25 mm/h and more, depending on the blood thinners in connection with the development of anemia.
3
If the ESR parameter in the clinical analysis of blood is much increased, conduct additional research, as this may indicate the development of inflammation in the body and even tissue necrosis that occurs when the number of serious diseases (heart attack, tuberculosis, etc.) To increase the ESR in the blood can result in and some physiological conditions such as menstruation, pregnancy.
4
Note the offset of the indicator from the norm. ESR 40mm/HR and above can occur in case of very severe pneumonia, osteomyelitis (purulent inflammation of bone tissue), for metabolic diseases of joints, tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, cancer, some hematologic diseases. In these cases, approximately the same figure can, without treatment, can persist for a long time.
5
Small shifts – up to 30 mm/hour can be caused by any mild non-purulent inflammatory diseases such as uncomplicated pneumonia, sinusta, sinusitis, uncomplicated pyelonephritis, inflammatory diseases of appendages of uterus, prostatitis, chronic infectious diseases.
6
To lower the ESR parameter, focus on the treatment of the underlying disease. Follow the recommendations of your doctor. Your task is to get rid of the inflammation occurring in the body, with the liquidation which will return to normal and the ESR parameter.
7
Be prepared for the fact that most likely, you will have to retake the clinical analysis of blood or to do a few tests in a row, to trace the dynamics of changes of the indicator of ESR on the background of the therapy.
8
As a subsidiary means, you can take anti-inflammatory herbal teas, to use the recipes of traditional medicine, but it does not replace treatment prescribed by your doctor.
Note
A blood test is desirable to pass in the morning on an empty stomach. About the increase in ESR occurs when physiotherapy, antibiotics, soda or vaccination.
Useful advice
Try to use traditional recipes to reduce the ESR, in addition to basic therapy. Rinse thoroughly three small beets better if they are from your garden (without nitrates). Not cutting off the tails, simmer the beetroot for three hours. The water in which boiled beets, strain and drink 50 ml empty stomach in the morning, not rising from bed (it is possible to prepare a glass of broth in the evening). After taking the beet water, soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
The rest of the broth store in refrigerator. To prevent acidification of the beet water, boil new beets every 3 - 4 days. The course of treatment is weekly, then seven days break and again for weeks. Then turn and repeat.
