Application

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) indirectly reflects the presence of inflammation in the body by measuring the rate at which red blood cells settle, such as:

  • Auxiliary diagnosis: It helps doctors to identify potential inflammation, infections, autoimmune diseases, or tumors in the body.
  • Disease monitoring: This test is usually used to monitor disease activity and treatment efficacy in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. If treatment is effective, the ESR value will decrease accordingly.
  • Differential diagnosis: In cases of suspected specific diseases such as giant cell arteritis, the ESR is one of the key diagnostic indicators.

Why this product is chosen?

This tube is specially designed for ESR analyzer or ESR rack. It is not necessary to open the cap to consume other medical disposables.
