ESR, wanda aka fi sani da erythrocyte sedimentation rate, yana da alaƙa da dankon plasma, musamman ma ƙarfin haɗuwa tsakanin erythrocytes.Ƙarfin haɗuwa tsakanin ƙwayoyin jini yana da girma, ƙwayar erythrocyte sedimentation yana da sauri, kuma akasin haka.Sabili da haka, ana amfani da ƙwayar erythrocyte sedimentation sau da yawa a asibiti a matsayin mai nuna alamar haɗin erythrocyte.ESR gwaji ne wanda ba takamaiman ba kuma ba za a iya amfani da shi kaɗai don tantance kowace cuta ba.

Ana amfani da ESR musamman a asibiti don:

1. Don lura da canje-canje da kuma maganin cututtuka na tarin fuka da zazzaɓin rheumatic, haɓakar ESR yana nuna cewa cutar ta sake dawowa kuma tana aiki;lokacin da cutar ta inganta ko ta daina, ESR a hankali yana farfadowa.Hakanan ana amfani dashi azaman tunani a cikin ganewar asali.

2. Bambance-bambancen cututtuka na wasu cututtuka, irin su ciwon zuciya na zuciya da angina pectoris, ciwon daji na ciki da ciwon ciki, ciwon daji na pelvic da kuma cystitis na ovarian mara kyau.ESR ya karu sosai a cikin tsohon, yayin da na ƙarshe ya kasance na al'ada ko dan kadan ya karu.

3. A cikin marasa lafiya tare da myeloma mai yawa, babban adadin globulin mara kyau ya bayyana a cikin plasma, kuma ƙwayar erythrocyte sedimentation yana ƙaruwa sosai.Za'a iya amfani da ƙimar erythrocyte sedimentation a matsayin ɗaya daga cikin mahimman alamun ganowa.

4. Ana iya amfani da ESR azaman alamar dakin gwaje-gwaje na aikin arthritis na rheumatoid.Lokacin da mai haƙuri ya murmure, ƙwayar erythrocyte sedimentation na iya raguwa.Duk da haka, lura da asibiti ya nuna cewa a wasu marasa lafiya da cututtukan cututtuka na rheumatoid, ƙwayar erythrocyte sedimentation na iya raguwa (ba lallai ba ne a al'ada) yayin da alamun cututtuka da alamun irin su ciwon haɗin gwiwa, kumburi da ƙumburi na safiya sun inganta, amma a wasu marasa lafiya, ko da yake asibiti. Alamun haɗin gwiwa sun ɓace gaba ɗaya, amma har yanzu adadin erythrocyte sedimentation bai ragu ba, kuma an kiyaye shi a babban matakin.
