Abstract
Concomitant mechanisms of red-cell sedimentation were discussed. Physical properties and biological influences (the effects of plasma proteins, viscosity, and the number and size of erythrocytes) on the rate of sedimentation were discussed. An up-to-date review of the principal methods and systems used to measure the sedimentation rate and automation of the Westergren method were presented.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
