ESR, wanda aka fi sani da ƙimar sedimentation na erythrocyte, yana da alaƙa da danko a cikin jini, musamman ƙarfin taruwa tsakanin erythrocytes. Ƙarfin taruwa tsakanin erythrocyte yana da girma, ƙimar sedimentation na erythrocyte yana da sauri, kuma akasin haka. Saboda haka, ana amfani da ƙimar sedimentation na erythrocyte a asibiti a matsayin alamar taruwa tsakanin erythrocyte. ESR gwaji ne wanda ba takamaiman ba kuma ba za a iya amfani da shi kaɗai don gano kowace cuta ba.

Ana amfani da ESR a asibiti musamman don:

1. Domin lura da canje-canje da tasirin maganin tarin fuka da zazzabin rheumatic, saurin ESR yana nuna cewa cutar tana sake dawowa kuma tana aiki; idan cutar ta inganta ko ta tsaya, ESR tana murmurewa a hankali. Haka kuma ana amfani da ita azaman nuni a lokacin ganewar asali.

2. Binciken wasu cututtuka daban-daban, kamar bugun zuciya da angina pectoris, ciwon daji na ciki da gyambon ciki, ciwon daji na ƙashin ƙugu da kuma gyambon ovarian mara rikitarwa. ESR ya ƙaru sosai a cikin na farko, yayin da na ƙarshe ya kasance na al'ada ko kuma ya ɗan ƙaru kaɗan.

3. Ga marasa lafiya da ke fama da myeloma da yawa, yawan globulin da ba shi da kyau yana bayyana a cikin jini, kuma yawan erythrocyte sedimentation yana ƙaruwa sosai. Ana iya amfani da ƙimar erythrocyte sedimentation a matsayin ɗaya daga cikin mahimman alamun ganewar asali.

4. Ana iya amfani da ESR a matsayin alamar dakin gwaje-gwaje na aikin rheumatoid arthritis. Lokacin da majiyyaci ya murmure, ƙimar erythrocyte sedimentation na iya raguwa. Duk da haka, binciken asibiti ya nuna cewa a wasu marasa lafiya da ke fama da rheumatoid arthritis, ƙimar erythrocyte sedimentation na iya raguwa (ba lallai ba ne ya zama al'ada) yayin da alamun da alamu kamar ciwon haɗin gwiwa, kumburi da tauri na safe suka inganta, amma a wasu marasa lafiya, kodayake alamun haɗin gwiwa na asibiti sun ɓace gaba ɗaya, amma ƙimar erythrocyte sedimentation har yanzu bai ragu ba, kuma an kiyaye shi a babban matakin.
