چکیده

The changes in the osmotic resistance of red blood cells (RBC), due to various pathological conditions like exposure to heat, anemia as well as the effect of storage and anticoagulants have been investigated. The results have shown that exposure to a temperature of 50 degrees C makes the red blood cells fragile to osmotic pressures. Also, red blood cells from the patients suffering from anemia exhibited decreased osmotic resistance. Storage upto 9 days showed a marginal increase in the osmotic fragility of the RBC and beyond that, there was no significant effect upto 15 days. Also, exposure to anticoagulants like citrate, ammonium oxalate, and EDTA increased the osmotic fragility of the cells. The present study shows that the various traumas investigated will affect the mechanical properties of the red blood cell membrane.

Determination of hemolysis, osmotic fragility and fluorescence anisotropy on irradiated red blood cells as a function of kV of medical diagnostic X-rays

Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...
