title: Comparative study between the Ves-matic and microerythrocyte sedimentation rate method.
abstract: In this study, Ves-matic erythrocyte sedimentation rate and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate methods were compared on 96 subjects mean age 4.9+/-4.3 years. Ves-matic erythrocyte sedimentation rate an automated method, and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate method required minimal bloods are various approaches on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. An important relationship between that the Ves-matic and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate was revealed. Although there was significantly correlation between these two methods, they are different to use interchangeably. Our study implies that "Micro-Automated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Systems" could be developed which require a few amounts of blood and study automatically.
