  2. Rouleaux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouleaux

    Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates. The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Blood compatibility testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_compatibility_testing

    Rouleaux causes red blood cells to stack together, which can mimic agglutination, causing a false positive result in the reverse grouping. This can be avoided by removing the plasma, replacing it with saline, and re-centrifuging the tube. Rouleaux will disappear once the plasma is replaced with saline, but true agglutination will persist.

  5. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_sedimentation_rate

    Rouleaux formation; Sedimentation or settling stage; Packing stage - 10 minutes (sedimentation slows and cells start to pack at the bottom of the tube) In normal conditions, the red blood cells are negatively charged and therefore repel each other rather than stacking. ESR is also reduced by high blood viscosity, which slows the rate of fall. [7]

  6. Abnormal basal metabolic rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnormal_basal_metabolic_rate

    Hyperthyroidism—in which there is an increase in the production of thyroid hormones—leads to a high BMR, while hypothyroidism—in which thyroid hormones are depleted—causes a low BMR. [ 1 ] Prolonged periods of abnormal nutrition cause an adaptive change in BMR; this helps the body to maintain a stable body weight in response to the ...

  9. Hemorheology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemorheology

    One unit increase in hematocrit can cause up to a 4% increase in blood viscosity. [2] This relationship becomes increasingly sensitive as hematocrit increases. When the hematocrit rises to 60 or 70%, which it often does in polycythemia , [ 4 ] the blood viscosity can become as great as 10 times that of water, and its flow through blood vessels ...
