Through this study, I aim to understand the implications of an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and how it can be used to aid the diagnosis of several disorders. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of 75 blood reports collected in Pune, India of individuals of various ages, genders, and health statuses I found out the trend in erythrocyte sedimentation rates and how they are different in Pune specifically.
