Indicators of ROE analysis, norm in women

When a general blood test is taken,set of various indicators. ESR, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is considered one of the main. Until recently, this analysis was called ROE - the reaction of erythrocyte sedimentation. This analysis is considered relative, because with age or depending on the sex of the person, it can have different indicators. ROE reveals the time result of dividing the blood into two layers of different compositions.

Erythrocytes remain in the lower layer, and plasmatends upwards. The plasma layer level is formed within an hour, and the indicator is diagnosed on it. Sedation of erythrocytes occurs at different rates, all depends on their ability to stick together, due to the electrification of the surface. Normally, the electric charge should have a negative index, which causes the cells to repel each other. Also, the ability of adhesion depends on the protein content of the blood plasma.

RoE indicators are normal

Indicators of ROE analysis, the norm in women of whomshould be in the region of 2-15 mm / h., mogt vary under the influence of circumstances. Menstruation or pregnancy are able to change these indicators. Usually, in such conditions, the results of the ROE analysis are increased. The norm in women can reach 30 mm / h.

Men have a lower norm, it varies from 1 to 10mm / h. Of course, age significantly changes this indicator to a higher value. This is due to hormonal changes and changes in metabolism. In addition, the ROE analysis, the norm of which is subjected to fluctuations during the day, has different indicators, for example, in the daytime it is slightly higher than at night.

If we talk about the infant indexes of ROE analysis, the norm in children can sometimes also "jump" from 1 to 8 mm / h. Newborns have indicators up to 2 mm / h.

What can the deviation of indicators from the norm say

Various factors throughout life changeindications of ROE analysis. The norm in women, in children or men is constantly changing, but still, thanks to this study, it becomes possible to help the patient in preventive or diagnostic studies of his condition. This analysis is also used to check the effectiveness of the treatment. If the general analysis shows a deviation from the norm, then you can talk about the presence in the patient's body of acute or chronic inflammatory processes. It is possible that there are other, often pathological, processes. Judging by how much lower the rate of ESR blood, you can determine the intensity of the disease.

Problems that the analysis of ESR above the norm shows:

the immune system is broken;
there is a malignant tumor;
blood diseases, such as anemia;
septic processes;
failure in the endocrine system;
leukemia;
heart attacks;
poisoning the body;
ROE (the norm in women rises during pregnancy or during menstruation);
taking drugs;
injuries;
infection.

Of course, this is far from a complete list of diseases in which ESR exceeds the norm, and it should not be higher than 15-25 mm / h in a healthy person.

The increase in indicators is observed about a month after the birth of the baby or after a surgical operation.
