ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. this is a test that indirectly measures the level of inflammation is in the body.
normal readings are
Adults, Westergren method Men under 50 years old-------less than 15 mm/hr
Men over 50 years old-------- less than 20 mm/hr
Women under 50 years old-- less than 20 mm/hr
Women over 50 years old---- less than 30 mm/hr
Children Westergren method,

How can erythrocyte sedimentation rate be controlled if the esr is raised to 80?
ESR is a non specific test that is usually used to diagnose the presence of some medical conditions. Basically, it can tell if there is something wrong inside the body.. it is a useful marker to diagnose for conditions like temporal arteritis, rheumatoid artheritis, cancer, inflammatory diseases, auto immune diseases, pregnancy, polycythemia, trauma, Anemia etc ... and many more diseases. ] There are factors that can affect the ESR rate and these factors include Sex, Age, Race .... normal range for a man is 0-15mm/hour woman it is 0-30mm/hour Newborn is 0-5mm/hour These values are obtained after importing 3-5ml of blood into a westerngren tube and readings are take after 1 hour interval and 2 hours interval after that. If your ESR is over 80 there is a possibility of presence of a serious health condition and you physician my have alarm bells ringing, if not... then consult another other physician .... identification of the underlyin problem which is causing the ESR rate to shoot up so high must be diagnosed and the disease must be identified in order to bring things back to normal. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a non-specific test and is not diagnostic of any particular disease. It has a high sensitivity but low specificity. If high ESR is encountered without any obvious reasons, patient should be reassured and the test repeated after a reasonable amount of time (a couple of months). There is no need to extensively search for an occult disease without repeating it again. (Taken from http://www.mediscuss.org/erythrocyte-sedimentation-rate-77.html) Hope this helped...

What happens if your ESR level is 70?
This represents an elevated "sed rate", or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). It is most commonly a marker of inflammation. Since it is a fairly broad marker, any number of inflammatory or infectious conditions and diseases could elevate the ESR. Consult your physician regarding your particular case.

Age 78 yrs hemoglobin level is 9.5 ESR is 48 Is the ESR level normal and what precautions are to be taken and what are its implications?
The ESR level is pretty normal for a 78-year-old: a general guideline is that it should be roughly less than the age divided by 2, or for a woman, age+10 divided by 2. So for a male, it is a touch high, but for a female, it is okay. However, hemoglobin of 9.5 is rather low. This should be investigated further.
