  • Title: [Maximum rate of sedimentation of a suspension placed in a viscosimeter with coaxial cylinders. Application to a number of pathological blood samples (author's transl)].
    Author: Mills P, Quemada D, Dufaux J, Lambert M.
    Journal: J Mal Vasc; 1980; 5(2):125-7. PubMed ID: 7462832.
    Abstract:
    Erythrocyte sedimentation of normal and pathological human bloods at varying controlled shear rates has been measured. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was found to reach a maximum at a characteristic shear rate gamma c [gamma c less than .1 s-1 for normal bloods; gamma c greater than .1 s-1 for pathological bloods]. Records of viscosity versus shear rate exhibit a break near gamma c. Examples show that ESR is well correlated with viscometric data.
