Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was estimated in 82 men and 15 women patients with different disorders, fasting, 1 to 1.5 h after lunch and 4 to 5 h after lunch. There was little difference between values estimated before and after lunch was taken. It is concluded that ESR estimations can be made without reference to food intake by the subject.
