Red blood cell “aggregability”

Red blood cell "aggregability".

It is well understood that the extent of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is determined by both plasmatic and cellular factors [10]. It is also clear that alterations of plasmatic and cellular factors may be related to separate disease processes [1]. For example, plasma composition may change (e.g., fibrinogen concentration increase) due to an acute phase response, thereby altering RBC aggregat...

Effect of Thyroid Dysfunctions on Blood Cell Count and Red Blood Cell Indice

Abstract Background Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction induces different effects on blood cells such as anemia, erythrocytosis leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and in rare cases causes’ pancytopenia. It also alter RBC indices include MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW. Thus this study attempted to evaluate effect of hypo & hyperthyroi...

An Overview on: The Red Blood Cell Histogram

The RBC histogram is an integral part of automated hematology analysis and is now routinely available on all automated cell counters. This histogram and other associated complete blood count (CBC) parameters have been found abnormal in various hematological conditions and may provide major clues in the diagnosis and management of significant red cell disorders. In addition, it is frequently use...
