- Rouleaux - Wikipedia
Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau

The stacking of cells (rouleaux formation) facilitates the rate of red cell sedimentation, a phenomenon that may be seen on a peripheral smear The appearance of rouleaux may be artificially caused by a poor preparation of the smear or by viewing the slide in a thickened area

- Rouleaux Formation; its Causes and Consequences
Rouleaux formation is the loose aggregation of red cells that occurs in most human blood when left for a time in stasis The aggregates have a characteristic morphology with the cells adherent face-to-face to produce columns of cells similar to piles of coins

Rouleaux formation refers to the stacking of 4 or more red blood cells Red cell membranes have a negative charge (zeta potential) that causes red cells to repel each other

Rouleaux is a normal finding in the “thick” part of a blood film, but if present in the normal viewing area of the blood film it should be regarded as significant (although not necessarily pathological)
