Pronounced erythrocytosis (polyglobulia) can often already be recognised after sedimentation of the red blood cells. Left tube: haematocrit 82%, right tube: haematocrit 39%.

In the impedance channel of a haematology analyser a falsely elevated platelet concentration of 850,000/μL was measured. This was caused by precipitated cryoglobulin in cryoglobulinaemia. The flocculated cryoglobulin is visible in the phase contrast microscope in between the red blood cell 'rouleaux'.

A large number of flocculated cryoglobulins become visible when the condenser is lowered and no microscope oil is applied.

Fragmented red blood cells and thrombocytopenia in the case of a thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). In the partially thrombosed capillaries the red blood cells are exposed to a high degree of shearing force, which causes them to burst.
