The ESR Stat Plus and ESR Stat 6 analyzers provide physicians with fast and accurate sedimentation (sed) rate results. Developed by HemaTechnologies in New Jersey, the ESR Stat Plus and ESR Stat 6 analyzers take just five minutes to provide up to three or six sed rates, respectively. ESR Stat Plus and ESR Stat 6 analyzers can detect the presence of inflammatory conditions such as lupus. An autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own organs and tissues, lupus affects some 1.5 million Americans, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. It can lead to a range of symptoms including chronic pain, loss of hair, fatigue, and a range of cognitive and physical problems. It can also result in stroke, heart attack, and joint pain. There are four types of lupus: systemic lupus, which affects the kidneys, lungs, heart, or brain; cutaneous lupus, which affects the skin; drug-induced lupus caused by high medication dosages; and neonatal lupus, which occurs after giving birth. After identifying the type of lupus that a patient has, physicians can determine what course of treatment will be needed.
