Inflammation at a glance: erythrocyte adhesiveness/aggregation test to reveal the presence of inflammation in people with atherothrombosis.
The erythrocyte adhesiveness/aggregation test is a new biomarker to detect low-grade inflammation in patients with atherothrombosis. In a group of 30 individuals with an acute ischemic event, the variability of EAAT during a follow-up period was similar to those obtained for other commonly used markers of the acute phase response, suggesting the potential clinical use of this novel marker.
