11. Hematological Complications and Rouleaux Formation of Blood Components (Leukocytes and Platelet Cells) and Parameters

This chapter has the detailed and depth knowledge about the hematological complications and Rouleaux formation of blood components (leukocytes and platelet cells) and parameters. The purpose of this chapter is to determine the changes in three parameters, i.e., cells count, shape of cells, and size of cells, prior and after addition of three analytes, i.e., sugar, sodium chloride, and pure water, for ten varying concentrations, i.e., from 0 to 450 mM, admixed in 2 ml blood for sugar [C₆H₁₂O₆], 3 ml blood for sodium chloride [NaCl] and 4 ml blood for pure water. We have also discussed the effects of sugar, salt, and distilled water in comparison with the preexisting literature. This chapter also contains information’s about sample preparation; methodology of bright and dark field microscopy under transmission mode used for each blood cells and parameters, 2-D images of each phantom of each analyte for its normal sample and admixed sample, tables and graphs to express the variation in parameters relative to each phantom, results of each phantom and detailed discussions about changes in blood parameters and components mentioned above for each analyte.
