Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, a normally occurring phenomenon and a majorfactor affecting blood rheology, is an important area of study within bioengineering. This volume is one of the first to comprehensively review the topic. It provides extensive coverage of the basic mechanisms of RBC aggregation and supporting experimental evidence. It also explores the in vivo hemodynamic mechanism influenced by RBC aggregation, including pathophysiological and clinical consequences. It examines methods to measure and modify RBC aggregation and it discusses comparative data on RBC aggregation and related evolutionary concepts. Extensive references at the end of each chapter facilitate further study.
