Erythrocyte sediBlood cells
Erythrocyte sedi3
  • This method, known as the Biernacki Reaction, is used worldwide to assess erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which is one of the major blood tests. (wikipedia.org)
  • Another common hematology test is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). (ccmcc.org)
  • The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate, sed rate or 'Biernacki Reaction', is a non-specific measure of inflammation that is commonly used as a medical screening test. (ccmcc.org)
Blood cells2
  • Biernacki was the first one to note a relationship between the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in a human blood sample and the general condition of the organism. (wikipedia.org)
  • To perform the test, anticoagulated blood is placed in an upright tube, known as a Westergren tube and the rate at which the red blood cells fall is measured and reported in mm/h. (ccmcc.org)
