METHOD OF QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF RED BLOOD CELL DEFORMABILITY IN DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: pressure equal to existing capillary pressure required to pass the entire red cell suspension by micro-sieving through a calibrated filter is generated in a simulated medium. It involves filtration time recording of the analysed blood by a stop watch. Passage time of the analysed red cell suspension shows a red cell deformability index - RCDI which is calculated by formulae: and where Xi is an average filtration time, n is number of observations. ^ EFFECT: use of the method allows quick and precise quantitative analysis of red cell deformability. ^ 1 tbl, 3 ex
