Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0003565
An increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The ESR is a test that measures the distance that erythrocytes have fallen after one hour in a vertical column of anticoagulated blood under the influence of gravity. The ESR is a nonspecific finding. An elevation may indicate inflammation or may be caused by any condition that elevates fibrinogen. [ PMID:10524488 ]
