Abstract
Although the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a diagnostically nonspecific test, it is widely used for monitoring of inflammatory disorders. Conventional methods have disadvantages of difficu1ty in standardization and quality control. Thus we compared automatic TEST 1 system with the conventional Westergren method and Ves-Matic 60 for correlation with 205 patients. The results are summarized as follows 1. The TEST 1 showed acceptable reproducibility(CV: <10.0 %). 2. The correlation between TEST 1 and conventional Westergren method showed good correlation(r=0.910, P<0.001). 3. The correlation between TEST 1 and Ves-Matic 60 showed good correlation(r=0.918, P<0.001). We conclude that TEST 1 is a suitable automated ESR analyzer that is accurate and easy to use for ESR.
