Temporal arteritis with normal erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate.
The Journal of the American Board of Family Practice, 1991Co-Authors: Theodore G. GaniatsAbstract:The erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is used to differentiate temporal arteritis from other forms of headache in the elderly. Though temporal arteritis can occur with a normal ESR, this is not generally appreciated in primary care. The case reported here is a 74-year-old woman with biopsy-proven temporal arteritis; her ESR was 22 mm/hr. Of note, her hematocrit was more than 40 percent, a condition previously reported to be associated with temporal arteritis and a normal ESR. This discussion focuses on the diagnosis of temporal arteritis and its associated symptoms.

Quantitation of C-reactive protein levels and erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate after spinal surgery.
Spine, 1992Co-Authors: Ulf Thelander, Sune LarssonAbstract:C-reactive protein and erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate were prospectively measured after four types of uncomplicated spinal operations. In all patients, preoperative normal C-reactive protein (less than 10 mg/L) increased, reaching peak levels on the second day after microdiscectomy (46 +/- 21 mg/L) and anterior fusion (70 +/- 23 mg/L), and at the third day after conventional discectomy (92 +/- 47 mg/L) and posterolateral intercorporal fusion (173 +/- 39 mg/L), with normalization in 5-14 days. Peak levels were not related to bleeding, transfusion, operation time, administered drugs, age, or sex. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate increased to peak levels about 5 days after surgery, followed by a slow and irregular decrease, and at 21-42 days after surgery often remained elevated. The rapid decline in C-reactive protein will probably be interrupted by a second rise or persisting elevation if infection occurs. C-reactive protein is presumably a better test than erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate for early detection of postoperative infection.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and C-reactive protein for the prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis.
Pancreas, 2010Co-Authors: Supot Pongprasobchai, Voravut Jianjaroonwong, Phunchai Charatcharoenwitthaya, Chulaluk Komoltri, Tawesak Tanwandee, Somchai Leelakusolvong, Nonthalee Pausawasdi, Wichit Srikureja, Siwaporn P. Chainuvati, Varayu PrachayakulAbstract:Objectives:To investigate the performance of erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) for predicting severe acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:Fifty patients with AP were prospectively enrolled. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and CRP were measured at admission and every 12 hour
