Clinical significance of the six-moment micromethod of erythrocyte sedimentation reaction in obstetrics and gynecology

Abstract

Using the six-moment micromethod of erythrocyte sedimentation reaction (6-moment ESR) for a number of years now, the clinic of prof. G. A. Baksht found a number of advantages in it over the conventional method. In this work, an attempt is made to analyze the accumulated material in order to study the clinical significance of this method for various groups of gynecological patients and pregnant women. 6-moh. ROE, thoroughly forgotten by gynecologists in recent years, represents an attempt by some researchers to improve the reaction. This method was first tested on tuberculosis patients by Epstein and Kashchenko, and in gynecology by Mandelstam and Gidalevich (1929).
