The widely used [21] rule calculating normal maximum ESR values in adults (98% confidence limit) is given by a formula devised in 1983 from a study of ≈1000 individuals over the age of 20: [22] The normal values of ESR in men is age (in years) divided by 2; for women, the normal value is age (in years) plus 10, divided by 2.
Several guidelines suggest investigating patients' vaccination status before starting any treatment and performing vaccinations against vaccine preventable diseases when required. [ 137 ] [ 138 ] Compared to the rest of the population, patients affected by IBD are known to be at higher risk of contracting some vaccine-preventable diseases. [ 139 ]
The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau. They occur when the plasma protein concentration is high, and, because of them, the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is also increased. This is a nonspecific indicator of the presence of disease.
Sedimentation rate may refer to: Sedimentation rate of particles in a liquid, described by Stokes' law Erythrocyte sedimentation rate , a medical test for inflammation

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]
