Abstract: The erythrocytes sedimentation profiles under gravitational field of various blood samples, exposed at different laser irradiation levels, are studied. It is observed that the sedimentation of erythrocytes, depending on the exposure level, tends to vary. The distribution profiles at various heights of blood column in the sample holder, exposed at 1000 mJ/cm2, have distinct appearance compared to normal blood and blood samples exposed at lower levels.
