LONG COVID – Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate

Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (HP:0003565)

An increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The ESR is a test that measures the distance that erythrocytes have fallen after one hour in a vertical column of anticoagulated blood under the influence of gravity. The ESR is a nonspecific finding. An elevation may indicate inflammation or may be caused by any condition that elevates fibrinogen.

Synonyms:    High ESR, Elevated ESR, Elevated sedimentation rate, High erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate
