Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. Key words...

background: it is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. in the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. materials and methods: in this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after pa...

The syndrome of chronic unconj ugated hyperbilirubinemia without overt signs of hemolysis in adolescents and adults has been variously termed cholemie simple familiale (Gilbert's disease) (1), icterus intermittens juvenilis (2), hereditary nonhemolytic bilirubinemia (3), familial nonhemolytic jaundice (4), physiologic hyperbilirubinemia (5), and constitutional hepatic dysfunction (6). These ter...

The present study aimed to understand the association between erythrocyte membrane alterations and hemolysis in chronic alcoholics. Study was conducted on human male volunteers aged between 35-45 years with a drinking history of 8-10 years. Results showed that plasma marker enzymes AST, ALT, ALP and γGT were increased in alcoholic subjects. Plasma and erythrocyte membrane lipid peroxidation, er...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with cerebral hyperperfusion and an increased risk of stroke. Also, both recurrent microvascular obstruction and chronic hemolysis affect endothelial function, potentially interfering with systemic and cerebral blood flow control. We addressed the question whether cerebrovascular control in patients with SCD is affected and related ...

100 patients with beta-thalassemia trait, comprised of 55 men and 45 women, participated in a study to measure serum lipoproteins. The results were compared with the data obtained from 100 control subjects of the same age and sex. A significantly lower level of mean serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and a much higher level of HDL cholesterol were obtained in beta-thalassemia trai...
