Table 1.
Simulation parameters for each type of SS-RBC. The symbol “MCHC” represents mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values. The symbols “E”, “S”, “H” and “G” represent the elongated, sickle, holly leaf and granular shape of the SS-RBC. μ and μ0 represent the shear modulus of the deoxygenated SS-RBC and healthy RBC respectively. θ0 and w represent the spontaneous deflection angle and the angular width of the aligned hemoglobin polymer domains, respectively
MCHC | μ | θ0 | w | |
---|---|---|---|---|
E | 32 g dL−1 | [20μ0,80μ0] | 180° | 0° |
S | 32 g dL−1 | [20μ0,80μ0] | [178.5°,179°] | 0° |
H | 34 g dL−1 | [30μ0,120μ0] | 180° | [45°,60°] |
G | 38 g dL−1 | [40μ0,2000μ0] | 180° | 180° |
