THE DISTRIBUTION CURVE OF ERYTHROCYTE FRAGILITY

Erythrocyte fragility in hyperthyroid patients

  Mild anaemia among patients with hyperthyroidism, reduction in intracranial zinc content of erythrocytes and anti- haemolysis of whole blood of patients with Graves, disease under laboratory Condition are the facts which indicate that although erythrocytes are devoid of receptors for thyroid hormones, they are affected by the excess of these hormones. In order to find out the reasons for suc...

The distribution curve of erythrocyte fragility; a different method of presentation of fragility of erythrocytes to hypotonic saline, with preliminary remarks on the function of reticulocytes.

INTRODUCTION F OLLOWING Haden’s1#{176}demonstration of the close correlation between spherocytosis and the fragility of erythrocytes to hypotonic saline, Dameshek and Miller5 postulated that spherocytosis was a preliminary stage in the destruction of the red cell; i.e. partial hemolysis. They were able to show experimentally that the degree of spherocytosis was related to the concentration of h...

Erythrocyte osmotic fragility in hyperthermia-susceptible swine.

Anaesthetic-induced malignant hyperpyrexia in humans appears to result from some intrinsic abnormality of muscle (Satnick, 1969; Harrison et aL, 1970; King, Denborough and Zapf, 1972). Evidence points to this defect being in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Kalow et al., 1970). A certain strain of Landrace pigs manifests a similar condition and has been used as an animal experimental model for the i...
