Abstract

In study of the parameters characterizing the minimal--U0(B) and maximal--UD(B) mechanical stability of aggregates, half period of red cell spontaneous aggregation--tau (in mm), photometric signal amplitude characterizing the number of red cells taking part in aggregation--A (in mm), and in calculating the aggregation index 1a and the integral coefficient of aggregation K intensification of reversible aggregation of the peripheral red blood cells was revealed in patients with lung cancer, which grew against the background of increase in the number of modified red blood cells during application of antitumor polychemotherapy.
