Practice questions on Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in normal pregnancy is typically
- Decreased due to reduced erythrocyte aggregation
- Low in the first and second trimesters, rising in the third
- Unchanged from non-pregnant levels
- Markedly elevated due to increased fibrinogen
Answer: D. Pregnancy increases plasma fibrinogen and other acute phase proteins, promoting red cell rouleaux and raising ESR.
