Blood plasma pattern formation is a process sensitive to environment and carrier properties, and plasma biochemical
content. 96 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) were involved in the study. Control group include 12 practically
health persons (PHP). Platelets poor plasma and serum were used to study functional morphology. Plasma and serum
samples of equal volume were placed on degreased glass carrier with after going wedge dehydration. The result of wedge
dehydration is a formation of a special structure called facia. To the samples of compare albumin solution was added.
Morphology of prepared facies was studied by means of light microscopy ("Lomo Biolam P2-1") with 10 times
magnification.
All received facies were of the same principle structure with central, intermediate and edge zones. Zone index was
increasing in samples with albumin adding. Special structures obligatory to atherosclerosis, vessels stiffness increase and
hypoxia were found in facies of plasma and serum of patients with CHD. Quantity of these structures correlated to
protein concentration (p = 0.021). Samples' drying period was also increasing in samples of compare, and differed
significantly in patients with CHD and PHP. In our study gross proteins concentration increase modified plasma and
serum morphology. Albumin solution can be proposed as a probe to elucidate differences of facies of patients with CHD
and PHP.
