What’s the difference between CRP and ESR blood test?
ESR is a blood test that measures the rate of red blood cell sedimentation per hour. CRP is a blood test to measure the level of C-reactive proteins in the plasma. Specificity for Diseases. ESR can be used for disease differentiation.
What kind of test is the ESR test?
ESR test is performed in a special tube called Westergren tube (an upright glass test tube). Anticoagulated blood is placed in westergren tubes and the rate of red blood cell sedimentation is monitored and reported.
Why does ESR increase in the presence of inflammation?
When inflammatory process starts, the level of fibrinogen in the blood increases. These high levels of fibrinogen cause the red blood cells to stick together and form stacks. These stacks settle faster due to their high density. Hence, ESR value increases with the presence of an inflammation.
Where does the C reactive protein CRP come from?
CRP is a protein that was first isolated from the plasma of patients with pneumococcal pneumonia in 1930. 2 The protein was so named because it binds to the C-polysaccharide of the pneumococcus. It was later found that the protein appeared in plasma during many infectious or inflammatory conditions. 3-6 CRP is synthesized in the liver.
