Abstract

The authors found a significant statistical correlation (linear and Spearman) between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), plasma fibrinogen level, alpha-2-globulins level, platelets count, anemia and age, in 1 000 patients admitted to the Hôtel-Dieu of Marseille. The high degree of partial correlations obtained, confirmed that a direct and independent relationship exists between ESR-fibrinogen, ESR - alpha-2-globulin, fibrinogen - alpha-2-globulin. Determinations of plasma fibrinogen and alpha-2-globulin levels are they still useful in the survey of inflammatory diseases when ESR can be easily determined?

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
