ESR, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti erythrocyte sedimentation rate, imagwirizana ndi plasma viscosity, makamaka mphamvu yophatikizana pakati pa erythrocytes.Mphamvu yophatikizana pakati pa maselo ofiira amagazi ndi yayikulu, kuchuluka kwa erythrocyte sedimentation kumakhala kofulumira, ndipo mosiyana.Choncho, mlingo wa erythrocyte sedimentation nthawi zambiri umagwiritsidwa ntchito kuchipatala monga chizindikiro cha inter-erythrocyte aggregation.ESR ndi mayeso omwe siachindunji ndipo sangathe kugwiritsidwa ntchito payekha kuti azindikire matenda aliwonse.

ESR imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pochiza:

1. Kuwona kusintha ndi zotsatira zochiritsira za chifuwa chachikulu ndi rheumatic fever, ESR yofulumira imasonyeza kuti matendawa akubwereza komanso akugwira ntchito;pamene matendawa akukula kapena kusiya, ESR pang'onopang'ono imachira.Amagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chidziwitso pakuzindikira matenda.

2. Kusiyana kwa matenda ena, monga myocardial infarction ndi angina pectoris, khansa ya m'mimba ndi zilonda zam'mimba, khansa ya m'chiuno ndi chotupa chosavuta cha ovarian.ESR idawonjezeka kwambiri m'mbuyomu, pomwe yomalizayo inali yachilendo kapena yowonjezereka pang'ono.

3. Odwala omwe ali ndi myeloma yambiri, kuchuluka kwa globulin kosazolowereka kumawonekera mu plasma, ndipo mlingo wa erythrocyte sedimentation ukukwera kwambiri.Mlingo wa erythrocyte sedimentation ukhoza kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chimodzi mwazofunikira zowunikira.

4. ESR ingagwiritsidwe ntchito ngati chizindikiro cha labotale cha matenda a nyamakazi.Wodwalayo akachira, kuchuluka kwa erythrocyte sedimentation kumatha kuchepa.Komabe, kafukufuku wachipatala amasonyeza kuti mwa odwala ena omwe ali ndi nyamakazi ya nyamakazi, mlingo wa erythrocyte sedimentation ukhoza kuchepa (osati kwenikweni) pamene zizindikiro ndi zizindikiro monga kupweteka kwa mafupa, kutupa ndi kuuma kwa m'mawa zimakula bwino, koma kwa odwala ena, ngakhale kuti chithandizo chamankhwala chikuwonjezeka. Zizindikiro zolumikizana zatha Kwathunthu, koma kuchuluka kwa erythrocyte sedimentation sikunagwe, ndipo kwasungidwa pamlingo wapamwamba.
