Increased ESR

"Erythrocyte sedimentation" is the abbreviation of the red blood cell sedimentation rate, and the English abbreviation is "ESR". ESR is the rate at which red blood cells settle under certain conditions. The erythrocyte sedimentation value of healthy people fluctuates in a relatively narrow range, that is, 0 to 15 mm / hour for men and 0 to 20 mm / hour for women. Regardless of men and women, if the sedimentation rate is faster than 25 mm / hour, it is a mild increase in blood sedimentation rate, and if it exceeds 50 mm / hour, it is a severe increase.
