Erythrocytes are blood particles, the main taskwhich consists in the transfer of oxygen in the blood to various organs of the human body. These bodies consist of hemoglobin, which has a red color. They are also colored by these particles. One of the most important indicators when passing blood tests is the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation (or abbreviated ESR). Increased or reduced its level indicates any violations in the body. How to decrease or increase ESR in the blood?
If this number is below the norm, then it is necessary to increaseESR. The causes of non-compliance with established standards are most often such diseases as leukocytosis, hepatitis, DIC-syndrome, hyperproteinemia, hyperbilirubinemia. It is worth noting that a reduced level of ESR is observed very rarely. More often the opposite result occurs, that is, an elevated level.
If this index is still underestimated, but there are no clinical symptoms speaking about the diseases, it is necessary to increase the ESR. How to do it?
Also a deviation from the norm is the increasedindex. What can increase ESR, in what there can be a reason? First of all, this indicates that the body develops an inflammatory process. And it can be like a common cold, flu, and more complex bronchitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, etc. It should be noted that the more inflammation in the body, the more increased ESR in the blood is observed.
In women, increased ESR in the blood can be observed during menstruation, during pregnancy, as well as in some other physiological processes.
Once a person shows an increasethe rate of erythrocyte cleavage, then immediately repeated tests should be performed. If the result is the same, then the examination and professional consultation of the doctor is already necessary.
