Abstrakt:	The article presents a study examining the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in patients with monoclonal gammopathy when measured wit the modified Westergren and microhemagglutination method (TEST1). The authors go on to explain how ESR does not correlate with a specific plasma protein and conclude that the presence of MG is an independent factor for ΔESR (microhemagglutination ESR—Westergren ESR).
