sedimentation rate normal range
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate or Westergren ESR, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour.It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation.ormal values of ESR have been quoted as 1 to 2 mm/h at birth, rising to 4 mm/h 8 days after delivery, and then to 17 mm/h by day 14. Typical normal ranges quoted are: 1  Newborn: 0 to 2 mm/h. 2  Neonatal to puberty: 3 to 13 mm/h, but other laboratories place an upper limit of 20.
