It has been demonstrated in our laboratory that blood flow pulsations enhance plasma filtration rate by 30-60 per cent. The increase in plasmafiltration over the steady flow value is found to be a function of the parameter F. delta V'/QB where F denotes the pulsation frequency, delta V' the volume amplitude of pulsed blood in the filter and QB is the time mean blood flow. The increment in plasma filtration may be related to the increase in time-mean absolute value of shear rate.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
