  2. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia

    It is also elevated in subacute thyroiditis also known as DeQuervain's. In markedly increased ESR of over 100 mm/h, infection is the most common cause (33% of cases in an American study), followed by cancer (17%), kidney disease (17%) and noninfectious inflammatory disorders (14%). [13] Yet, in pneumonia the ESR stays under 100. [14]

  3. Erythrocyte aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_aggregation

    Erythrocyte aggregation is the main determinant of blood viscosity at low shear rate. Rouleaux formation also determines Erythrocyte sedimentation rate which is a non-specific indicator of the presence of disease. [6] Influence of erythrocyte aggregation on in vivo blood flow is still a controversial issue. [7]

    Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (abbreviated to SED more often than SDC) is a rare disorder of bone growth that results in dwarfism, [1] characteristic skeletal abnormalities, and, in some instances, problems with vision and hearing.

    This may include a full blood count (FBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), antistreptolysin-O (ASO) titer and throat culture, urinalysis, intradermal tuberculin test, and a chest x-ray. [22] The ESR is typically high, the C-reactive protein elevated, and the blood showing an increase in white blood cells.

  6. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

    Reactive thrombocythemia is the most common cause of a high platelet count. It accounts for 88% to 97% of thrombocythemia cases in adults, and near 100% in children. In adults, acute infection, tissue damage, chronic inflammation and malignancy are the common causes of reactive thrombocythemia. Usually, one or more of these conditions is ...
