2. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_sedimentation_rate

   The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is the rate at which red blood cells in anticoagulated whole blood descend in a standardized tube over a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation .

   The condition of having too few red blood cells is known as anemia, while having too many is polycythemia. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which RBCs sink to the bottom (when placed in a vertical column after adding an anticoagulant). Normal values of ESR are: • 3 to 5 mm per hour in males. • 4 to 7 mm per hour in females.

   Several blood tests involve red blood cells. These include a RBC count (the number of red blood cells per volume of blood), calculation of the hematocrit (percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells), and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The blood type needs to be determined to prepare for a blood transfusion or an organ ...

7. Erythrocyte aggregation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_aggregation

   Erythrocyte aggregation is the reversible clumping of red blood cells (RBCs) under low shear forces or at stasis. Stacked red blood cells flow across drying slide. Erythrocytes aggregate in a special way, forming rouleaux. Rouleaux are stacks of erythrocytes which form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrate body. The ...
