WHAT IS A SEDIMENTATION RATE (WESTERGREN) LAB TEST? The Sedimentation Rate (Westergren) Test is a blood test that detects and monitors inflammation in the body. Westergren is the method that measures the speed at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of a glass tube. A Sedimentation Rate Test can confirm a doctorâs diagnosis and proper treatment can be administered and monitored. Not Applicable.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate or Westergren ESR, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour.It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation.ormal values of ESR have been quoted as 1 to 2 mm/h at birth, rising to 4 mm/h 8 days after delivery, and then to 17 mm/h by day 14. Typical normal ranges quoted are: 1  Newborn: 0 to 2 mm/h. 2  Neonatal to puberty: 3 to 13 mm/h, but other laboratories place an upper limit of 20.
