The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a simple and inexpensive clinical laboratory test that detects increases in protein in the blood and is used as a non-specific marker of inflammation and infection. Despite the introduction of alternative methods for rapidly determining ESR, the traditional Westergren method is still considered the gold standard for testing.
In this eBook, we will provide a comprehensive overview of ESR analysis, including why ESR remains a valuable clinical tool, best practices for determining ESR using the Westergren method, and important considerations for choosing your ESR analyzer. Plus, hear from ESR experts and find out how this tool is aiding the management of COVID-19 in hospitals.
