Erythrocytes are red blood cells. The sedimentation rate is the time it takes for your red blood cells to settle at the bottom of a test tube. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that can show if you have inflammation in your body. Inflammation is your immune system's response to injury, infection, and many other conditions, including immune system disorders , certain cancers , and blood disorders .

Technology
A measurement of the antibody or complement-coated erythrocytes in a blood specimen in vivo.
Diagnostic Methods
Technology
A test that uses Coombs' reagent to detect the presence of anti-erythrocyte antibodies in serum.
Diagnostic Methods
Pruebas
The determination of the ratio of acanthocytes compared to erythrocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicadores
CA 19-9 is a fucosylated glycosphingolipid carbohydrate antigen that is soluble and is adsorbed to erythrocytes and to many adenocarcinomas of the digestive tract, especially pancreatic tumors. By structure CA 19-9 is related to the Lewis blood group antigens.
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of dysmorphic erythrocytes present in a sample.
For professionals
Pruebas
An index of the variation in the size of the red cells and can be used to detect subtle degress of anisocytosis. It is computed directly from the RBC histogram and is calculated as a standard statictical value, the coefficient of variation of the red cell volume ditribution (ratio of standard deviation and mean copuscular volume).
For professionals
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of red blood cell fragments present in a sample.

Erythropoietin (193 aa, ~21 kDa) is encoded by the human EPO gene. This protein plays a role in both erythropoiesis and the maintenance of red blood cell volume.
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of free erythrocyte protoporphyrin present in a sample.
For professionals
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of G6PD-deficient erythrocytes in a biological sample.
For professionals
Pruebas
The determination of the ratio of the G6PD-deficient erythrocytes as compared to the total erythrocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
