Erythrocyte Calcium in Chronic Renal Failure

Erythrocyte calcium in chronic renal failure.

Erythrocyte sodium transport in chronic renal failure.

1. Erythrocyte sodium, sodium transport (ouabain-sensitive efflux rate of sodium, OM& and ouabain-sensitive efflux rate constant of sodium, "KONL.), sodium-potassium activated ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) activity and ['Hlouabainbinding capacity were measured in 15 patients with chronic ren'al failure and in 10 healthy subjects. 2. As a group, patients with chronic...

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, an underestimated tool in chronic renal failure.

BACKGROUND Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is widely used in the general population. It has seldom been studied in patients with chronic renal failure. The purpose of this study was to assess its usefulness in haemodialysis patients. METHODS Forty-five haemodialysis patients with no evidence of acute or chronic inflammatory illness were studied. Nine were diabetic, and 12 used a non-biocompati...

Characterization of human erythrocyte choline transport in chronic renal failure.

BACKGROUND Membrane transport of choline cations is elevated in renal failure in erythrocytes and cerebral tissue but the origins and clinical importance of this are unknown. METHODS The membrane transport changes have been characterized using erythrocytes from patients on maintenance haemodialysis (HD), patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and control subjects. Data ...

Increased erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure in chronic renal failure.

The appearance of phosphatidylserine, an aminophospholipid normally confined to the inner monolayer, at the outer leaflet of red cell membrane may have several pathophysiologic implications. This study examines erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on conservative treatment or on dialysis, to assess possible alterations to phospholipid asymmetry in a co...
