A method for analyzing blood samples, comprising the steps of: - preparing a blood sample within a respective container ; - preventing the coagulation of said blood sample ; and - measuring the rate (V) at which the corpuscular components contained in the blood sample sediment on the bottom of said container , said rate (V) being measured over a predetermined time period (T); - detecting, within said time period (T), a sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) representative of steps of aggregation of the corpuscular components ; and - comparing the detected sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) with at least one reference parameter of representative of at least one given pathology; said reference parameter being represented by a reference sedimentation trend for one or more pathologies; said step of comparing the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) is implemented by determining whether said sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) has characteristic identical to those of said reference sedimentation trend (P1, P2, P3) for detecting if the blood sample sediment is affected by at least one of said pathologies; wherein said sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) is determined by reading, in at least one moment (M1, M2, M3) of the time period, the formation of agglomerates of corpuscular components and the fall thereof in the plasma contained in the blood sample , in particular, said sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) being represented by a curve obtained by reading the formation of agglomerates and the fall thereof in the plasma for each moment that elapses sequentially along the whole time period (T), said moments being predetermined time intervals; and characterized in that the step of comparing the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) is made by observing only specific moments (M1, M2, M3) of the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) and comparing said specific moments (M1, M2, M3) to respective reference moments belonging to said reference sedimentation trend, said specific moments (M1, M2, M3) of the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) being moments (M1, M2, M3) at which the trends (A1, A2, A3) exhibit a very different behaviour in the steps of aggregation of the corpuscular components . - preparing a blood sample within a respective container ; - preventing the coagulation of said blood sample ; and - measuring the rate (V) at which the corpuscular components contained in the blood sample sediment on the bottom of said container , said rate (V) being measured over a predetermined time period (T); - detecting, within said time period (T), a sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) representative of steps of aggregation of the corpuscular components ; and - comparing the detected sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) with at least one reference parameter of representative of at least one given pathology; said reference parameter being represented by a reference sedimentation trend for one or more pathologies; wherein said sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) is determined by reading, in at least one moment (M1, M2, M3) of the time period, the formation of agglomerates of corpuscular components and the fall thereof in the plasma contained in the blood sample , in particular, said sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) being represented by a curve obtained by reading the formation of agglomerates and the fall thereof in the plasma for each moment that elapses sequentially along the whole time period (T), said moments being predetermined time intervals; and characterized in that the step of comparing the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) is made by observing only specific moments (M1, M2, M3) of the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) and comparing said specific moments (M1, M2, M3) to respective reference moments belonging to said reference sedimentation trend, said specific moments (M1, M2, M3) of the sedimentation trend (A1, A2, A3) being moments (M1, M2, M3) at which the trends (A1, A2, A3) exhibit a very different behaviour in the steps of aggregation of the corpuscular components . <EOS>
