Abstract:
0.37).Meanwhile a good correlation (Y=0.99X-0.18,r=0.987) was obtained. Though Westergren method correlated preferably with MICROTEST 1 (Y=0.86X+1.27,r=0.906),there was a markedly different (t=3.174,P=0.001).At last different references values were collected, according to sex and age.Male,32.5 mm/1 h(60 years old);Female, 34.03 mm/1 h(50 years old).Conclusions MICROTEST 1 correlated preferably with Westergren method.The examination by MICROTEST 1 needs small quantity of sample and fewer time.Furthermore,it has good repeatability and stability.The factors such as temperature and Hct have little influence on the results.The result suggested that it is suitable to apply MICROTEST 1 to large- scale clinical laboratory or other labs.But the reference value of ESR was influenced by age,which should be considered in clinical usage.
