title: [Erythrocyte sedimentation rate in diagnostics and prognosis of diseases].
abstract: The article presents data concerning clinical and laboratory diagnostics of different diseases and the importance of determination of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in it. In 1924 (80 years ago) the first work of T. P. Panchenko about the macromethod of the determination Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and its importance in clinical and laboratory diagnostics was published in the medical journal "Vrachebnoe Delo". Although this method is not specific, it integrally reflects general derangements of the organism's homeostasis in patients with acute and chronic diseases and allows controlling sanogenese and completing recovery processes. Nowadays this method is still actual in physician's practice.
