Coin Columns

Coin columns are unstable aggregates of red blood cells that resemble columns of coins in appearance. They are seen in polyglobulia, a condition in which there are too many different types of red blood cells in the blood. This can lead to blood dysfunction, such as anemia.

Additionally, coin columns can be caused by storing preserved blood. When blood is stored in a bank, a process of clotting occurs, which leads to the formation of coin columns. This is due to the fact that during the process of blood clotting, fibrin threads are formed, which can bind red blood cells to each other.

To avoid the formation of coin columns, it is necessary to properly store preserved blood and monitor its quality. In addition, when diagnosing polyglobulia, additional studies must be performed to determine the cause of this condition and prescribe appropriate treatment.



Coin streaks are abnormal collections of red blood cells in the blood that appear as stable, coin-shaped columns. They can be caused by various diseases and conditions, such as polyglobulia (multiple myeloma) or blood disorders.

The mechanism of formation of coin columns is not fully known. However, it is likely that this is due to an abnormal process of red blood cell division or maturation. In polyglobulia, when there are too many different types of cells in the blood, some red blood cells may not develop properly and form coin columns.

Detection of blood coins is one of the main signs of polyglobulus and helps doctors correctly determine the diagnosis. In addition, it may be a sign of other diseases and conditions associated with impaired red blood cell growth or division.

It is important to note that penny pins usually do not cause any symptoms and do not pose an immediate threat to human health. However, if they are a sign of polyglobulella or another serious disease, then treatment should be started immediately. Typically, treatment includes medications that help control the formation of coins in the blood and improve the production of healthy red blood cells.

In general, blood coins are potentially dangerous formations that may indicate serious illness. Pay attention to any changes in your blood structure or the appearance of new symptoms, and be sure to consult a doctor.
