What is it about?
We use the equation of population dynamics to formulate the time course of plasma-erythrocyte interface when the erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBC) settle as time goes on in a erythrocyte sedimentation rate test.

Why is it important?
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is an useful laboratory test in the diagnosis of various kinds of autoimmune disease and infectious disease. It is important to know why the ESR is elevated in such diseases and how red blood cells settle as time goes on in these diseases.
Perspectives
The parameters involved in the equation of motion of erythrocyte sedimentation might be useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of various kinds of disease with elevated ESR.
