Portuguese term or phrase: elevação da VS
Full sentence for context:

"Dos exames realizados no internamento refere-se serologia negativa para VIH, imunoglobinas e complementos séricos quantitativamente normais, hiperferritininémia com siderémia normal e marcada elevação da VS (130-106)."

Does anyone know what VS might stand for in this context? Excerpt is taken from the results for a patient with anaemia, who was hospitalised for vomiting, abdominal pain, and e.coli infection of the kidneys/urinary system.

Thanks!
