Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate - Normal Values

Normal Values

Note: mm/hr. = millimeters per hour.

Westergren's original normal values (men 3mm and women 7mm) made no allowance for a person's age and in 1967 it was confirmed that ESR values tend to rise with age and to be generally higher in women. Values are increased in states of anemia, and in black populations.
