  • Title: [The flow properties of blood and their characterization by hemorheologic methods].
    Author: Lerche D, Bäumler H, Kucera W, Meier W, Paulitschke M.
    Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1989; 116(5):631-52. PubMed ID: 2481610.
    Abstract:
    In a number of supply disturbances the flow behaviour of blood plays an increasing role in modern therapy concepts. The present paper deals with representing factors, such as haematocrit, aggregation, deformation, which exercise an influence on the complex flow properties of blood under variable conditions. By referring to the example of deformability it is shown how and to what extent different mechanical parameters of individual erythrocytes participate in static or dynamic whole cell deformation. Starting from fundamental quality demands (sensitivity, specificity, value of prediction) to diagnostic measuring technique, haemorheological methods for determining complex flow properties, aggregation and deformation as single phenomena and mechanical properties of individual erythrocytes are presented. Selected examples of application for normal blood, cells altered in vitro or pathological changes measured ex vivo are referred to.
