I-ESR, eyaziwa nangokuthi izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation, ihlobene ne-plasma viscosity, ikakhulukazi amandla okuhlanganisa phakathi kwama-erythrocyte.Amandla okuhlanganisa phakathi kwamangqamuzana abomvu egazi makhulu, izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation liyashesha, futhi ngokuphambene nalokho.Ngakho-ke, izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation livame ukusetshenziswa emtholampilo njengenkomba ye-inter-erythrocyte aggregation.I-ESR ukuhlolwa okungaqondile futhi ayikwazi ukusetshenziswa yodwa ukuxilonga noma yisiphi isifo.

I-ESR isetshenziswa kakhulu emtholampilo ku:

1. Ukubona izinguquko kanye nemiphumela yokwelapha yesifo sofuba kanye ne-rheumatic fever, i-ESR esheshayo ibonisa ukuthi lesi sifo siphindaphinda futhi sisebenza;lapho lesi sifo sithuthuka noma siyeka, i-ESR iyalulama kancane kancane.Ibuye isetshenziswe njengereferensi ekuxilongweni.

2. Ukuxilongwa okuhlukile kwezifo ezithile, njenge-myocardial infarction kanye ne-angina pectoris, umdlavuza wesisu kanye nesilonda sesisu, isisindo somdlavuza we-pelvic kanye ne-cyst ye-ovarian engeyona inkimbinkimbi.I-ESR yanda kakhulu ekuqaleni, kanti eyesibili yayivamile noma yanda kancane.

3. Ezigulini ezine-myeloma eminingi, inani elikhulu le-globulin engavamile livela ku-plasma, futhi izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation lishesha kakhulu.Izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation lingasetshenziswa njengenye yezinkomba ezibalulekile zokuxilonga.

4. I-ESR ingasetshenziswa njengenkomba yaselabhorethri yomsebenzi we-rheumatoid arthritis.Lapho isiguli silulama, izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation lingancipha.Kodwa-ke, ukubhekwa komtholampilo kubonisa ukuthi kwezinye iziguli ezine-arthritis ye-rheumatoid, izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation lingancipha (hhayi ngempela evamile) kuyilapho izimpawu nezimpawu ezinjengobuhlungu bamalunga, ukuvuvukala nokuqina kwasekuseni ziyathuthukiswa, kodwa kwezinye iziguli, nakuba umtholampilo. izimpawu ezihlangene ziye zanyamalala Ngokuphelele, kodwa izinga le-erythrocyte sedimentation namanje alizange lehle, futhi ligcinwe ezingeni eliphezulu.
