Consider when:
Systemic manifestations (fever, wt.loss, rash, etc)

Characteristics of RBCs
Shear forces and viscosity of plasma
Bridging forces of macromolecules. High MW fibrinogen tends to
lessen the negative charge between RBCs and promotes
aggregation.
Methods: Westergren method
Low ESR: Polycythemia, Sickle cell, hemolytic anemia,
hemeglobinopathy, spherocytosis, delay, hypofibrinogen,
hyperviscosity (Waldenstroms)
High ESR: Anemia, hypercholesterolemia, female, pregnancy,
inflammation, malignancy,nephrotic syndrome

ACP Recommendations for Diagnostic Use of
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

The ESR should not be used to screen asymptomatic persons for disease

The ESR should be used selectively and interpreted with caution....Extreme
elevation of the ESR seldom occurs in patients with no evidence of serious
disease

If there is no immediate explanation for an increased ESR, the physician
should repeat the test in several months rather than search for occult disease

The ESR is indicated for the diagnosis and monitoring of temporal arteritis and
polymyalgia rheumatica

In diagnosing and monitoring patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the ESR should
be used prinicipally to resolve conflicting clinical evidence

The ESR may be helpful in monitoring patients with treated Hodgkin’s disease
Antinuclear Antibodies




99.99% of SLE patients are ANA positive
(+) ANA is not diagnostic of SLE
 20 million Americans are ANA+
 239,000 SLE patients in the USA
 Normals 5% ANA+; Elderly ~15% ANA+
Significance rests w/ Clinical Hx, titer, pattern
Higher the titer, the greater the suspicion of SLE
