What causes the decrease in haematocrit during egg production?
1. Anaemia has been reported in wild animals, typically associated with traumatic events or ill health. However, female birds routinely become ‘anaemic’ during egglaying; we sought to determine the causes of this reduction in haematocrit. 2. Haematocrit in female European Starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris Linnaeus) decreased between pre-breeding and egg-laying in 3 out of 4 years (the decrease was m...
متن کاملPosttransfusion Haematocrit Equilibration: Timing Posttransfusion Haematocrit Check in Neonates at the National Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria
Anaemia is a common morbidity in the NICU and often requires transfusion of packed red blood cells. Haematocrit equilibration following red cell transfusion occurs over time ultimately resulting in a stable packed cell volume (PCV). Knowledge of this equilibration process is pertinent in the accurate timing of posttransfusion (PT) PCV. We conducted a prospective study to determine an appropriat...
متن کاملDecrease in haematocrit with continuous positive airway pressure treatment in obstructive sleep apnoea patients.
Previous preliminary results have shown an overnight decrease in haematocrit and red cell count after the first night of treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. The present study was designed to confirm these preliminary data, and to analyse the long-term effects of CPAP. The haematocrit and red cell count (RCC) were measured i...
متن کاملHaematocrit values in ischaemic heart disease.
Haemoglobin (g/dl) and haematocrit (%) values were determined in 30 healthy controls and 40 patients with ischaemic heart disease. Both groups were non-smokers. Haemoglobin and haematocrit values (mean +/- SE) in patients were 15.65 +/- 0.18 and 46.45 +/- 0.49 and in controls 14.30 +/- 0.14 and 41.50 +/- 0.23. Significantly higher (P < 0.001) haematocrit value by influencing the blood viscosity...
متن کاملLow-dose erythropoietin improves cardiac function in experimental heart failure without increasing haematocrit.
BACKGROUND Erythropoietin (EPO) may improve cardiac function and induce neovascularisation in experimental models of chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the increased haematocrit associated with EPO treatment might exert concomitant deleterious effects. AIM To investigate the haematocrit independent effects of EPO on cardiac function. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats underwent permanent coronary ...
