The aim of this study was to find the principal parameters of surface tension of the blood and verify its possible correlation with some of the commonly assessed laboratory indicators that are affected by diseases with the expected possible changes in the surface tension of the blood. The surface tension of the blood was assessed in 150 patients. At the same time, the basic biochemical and hematological parameters were determined in these patients. The results have shown a close correlation between the surface blood tension and the activity of plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase. We assume that this relationship is based on the changes in concentration of bile acids in the blood during liver or bile duct afflictions., A. Kratochvíl, E. Hrnčíř., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Whole blood surface tension of 15 healthy subjects recorded by the ring method was investigated in the temperature range from 20 to 40 °C. The surface tension σ as a function of temperature t (°C) is described by an equation of linear regression as σ(t) = (-0.473 t + 70.105) × 10-3 N/m. Blood serum surface tension in the range from 20 to 40 °C is described by linear regression equation σ(t) = (-0.368 t + 66.072) × 10-3 N/m and linear regression function of blood sediment surface tension is σ(t) = (-0.423 t + 67.223) ×10-3 N/m., J.
