Document Summary
You correctly answered: is increased whenever brinogen and immunoglobulins cause the rbcs to clump together, stack up, and form a column. The esr can be used to evaluate a patient with. You scored 100% by answering 3 out of 3 questions correctly. You correctly answered: the settling of rbcs in a vertical, stationary tube of whole blood during one hour. An increase in the esr is https://media. pearsoncmg. com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex11/act2/ i. You correctly answered: associated with worsening of anemia. Describe the e ect that sickle cell anemia has on the sedimentation rate (sample 3). Sickle cell anemia is characterized as a blood disorder that is observed by an improper folding of hemoglobin. This can happen when the hemoglobin levels are low which a ects the oxygen-carrying capacity of an individual. In a period of one hour, the erythrocytes would have settled and the esr is then taken. For sample three the sickle cell appeared to have no impact on the sedimentation rate.
