Agregação e sedimentação eritrocitária utilizando VHS (velocidade de hemossedimentação) e espectrofotometria UV-Vis

Abstract: A agregação eritrocitária excessiva está intimamente ligada à ocorrência de alguns processos patológicos e diretamente relacionada ao fenômeno de sedimentação eritrocitária. Neste trabalho investigamos as características cinéticas do processo de agregação e sedimentação eritrocitária. Para este estudo foram realizados ensaios de VHS (Velocidade de Hemossedimentação) com sangue suíno (hematócrito H de 20%, 25%, 30% e 35%) e absorbância em função do tempo, utilizando espectrofotometria UV-Vis, em amostras de san… Show more

“…Given this information, since plasma leakage leads to hemoconcentration, the blood of dengue patients has a proportional loss of plasma and blood cells, that is, while on one hand the relative percentage of blood cells increases, on the other hand the proportion comprised of plasma decreases. Consequently, when dosing ESR by the Westergren method, the reading of the column of plasma will be reduced; since this corresponds to the ESR value, the latter will be within normal limits [9,10,17]. Additionally, when there is hemorrhaging, the ESR values are also normal because of the hypophibrinogenemia in these patients.…”

“…Another point that should be emphasized is the fact that hemoconcentration is translated in the laboratory as elevated hematocrit values. Martins et al observed that the erythrocyte sedimentation process needs a longer time to occur when hematocrit levels are high (hemoconcentrated) and faster (greater sedimentation rate) when the hematocrits were small (hemodiluted) [17].…”
