Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we show that the work and force necessary for erythrocyte-erythrocyte detachment is higher for patients than for healthy donors, with these parameters further increasing in both groups when higher fibrinogen concentrations are present.  Nevertheless, this cannot be the only cause for the changes observed in the AFM data.
