Abstract :
ESR is an examination measuring the speed of deposition of erythrocyte
cells in the blood with certain anticoagulants, on the device and in a certain time
expressed in units of mm / hour. The standard ESR examination method is the
Westergreen method using sodium citrate 3.8% blood as an anticoagulant and
diluent. But in many clinical laboratories using K2EDTA blood without dilution
so that it can affect the solubility and morphology of erythrocyte cells. So this
research needs to be done with the aim to determine the difference in the value of
ESR in K2EDTA blood with sodium citrate 3.8% blood Westergreen method. This
research was conducted analytically experimental with a total sampling technique
of 29 respondents. The results of the study found that there were significant
differences in the K2EDTA blood without dilution and sodium citrate 3.8% blood
samples with p = 0.001. The difference in ESR values can be caused by
differences in the pH and shape of the two anticoagulants and the role of diluents
in the examination of ESR.
