This document discusses erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), and blood indices. It provides details on performing and interpreting ESR using the Westergren and Wintrobe methods. Average ESR values are 3-5 mm/hr for males and 4-7 mm/hr for females using Westergren method. For Wintrobe method values are 0-9 mm/hr for males and 0-20 mm/hr for females. PCV is measured using the Wintrobe method and expressed as a percentage. Blood indices - MCV, MCH, MCHC are also discussed along with their clinical significance.
