[Non-invasive methods for the assessment of platelet, leukocyte, erythrocyte aggregation and coagulation hemostasis].

A non-invasive method for the study of platelet aggregation and formation of leukocyte-erythrocyte-platelet aggregates as well as certain hemostatic parameters is proposed. The method is based on the speckle-analysis of coherent light scattering from the surface of erythrocytes moving in an artificially isolated vessel segment. It was shown that light scattering index significantly correlated with ADP-, adrenalin-, or collagen-induced platelet aggregation, with the formation of leukocyte-erythrocyte or platelet-erythrocyte aggregates, and with the levels of fibrinogen, soluble fibrin-monomer complexes and related parameters. It is concluded that the proposed method for the study of hemostatic system can be used to roughly evaluate intensity of intravascular blood coagulation and probability of thrombosis.
