Erythrocyte arginase activity as an indicator of lead exposure [PDF]

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1983
ABSTRACT A semi-automated method has been developed for the determination of the arginase activity of erythrocytes using dried blood spots, which are easy to prepare on site in a factory for later laboratory analysis. The mean arginase activity of erythrocytes in 49 men occupationally exposed to lead was 62·9 IU/g·Hb (SD, 14·4 IU/g·Hb); in 45 men not ...

Evaluation of recombinant human erythropoietin responsiveness by measuring erythrocyte creatine content in haemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background One of the main causes of anaemia in patients with end-stage renal disease is relative deficiency in erythropoietin production. Eythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA), a potent haematopoietic growth factor, is used to treat anaemia in ...

Can Red Cell Distribution Width Be Used as a Marker of Crohn's Disease Activity?

GE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
Introduction: Recently, it has been suggested an association between red cell distribution width (RDW) and Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), but its use is not yet performed in daily clinical practice.

Exposure to heavy metals and red blood cell parameters in children: A systematic review of observational studies

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
BackgroundMechanistic studies show that heavy metals interfere with the hematopoietic system by inhibiting key enzymes, which could lead to anemia. However, the link between children's exposure and red blood cell (RBC) parameters has been inconsistent ...
