Abstract
This paper deals with the effect of albumin and immunoglobulins on erythrocyte aggregation parameters. The study was carried out with an automatic system based on the light reflectometry technique which allows to determine kinetic parameters and dissociation shear rates. The plasma substitution by physiological solution or albumin showed the role of albumin on dissociation shear rates. Albumin properties were altered by heating at 56–60°C. In presence of immunoglobulins, the role of albumin appeared to be complex, depending on the Alb/Glo ratio.
