Exercise-induced blood lactate increase does not change red blood cell deformability in cyclists. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The effect of exercise-induced lactate production on red blood cell deformability and other blood rheological changes is controversial, given heavy-exercise induces biochemical processes (e.g., oxidative stress) known to perturb haemorheology.

The Relationship Between Aggregation and Deformability of Red Blood Cells in Health and Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The molecular organization of the membrane of the red blood cell controls cell morphology and function and is thereby a main determinant of red blood cell homeostasis in the circulation.

Double-Facet Effect of Artificial Mechanical Stress on Red Blood Cell Deformability: Implications for Blood Salvage

Applied Sciences, 2022
The use of intra-operative blood salvage, dialysis, and artificial organs are associated with the application of non-physiological mechanical stress on red blood cells (RBCs).

Reduced Red Blood Cell Deformability in Vivax Malaria. [PDF]

J Infect Dis
Abstract Reduced deformability of both infected and uninfected red blood cells (RBCs) contributes to pathogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Whole-blood RBC deformability (RBC-D) is not well characterized in Plasmodium vivax malaria.

THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF BLOOD IN THE MOST ACUTE STAGE OF ISCHEMIC STROKE AND THEIR RELATION TO THE SEVERITY OF NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENT

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2013
The study evaluated the rheological parameters of blood: blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, red blood cell aggregation and deformability. The severity of the patients was assessed by clinical scales:Glasgowcoma scale, the scale NIHSS, Barthel

New-Generation Ektacytometry Study of Red Blood Cells in Different Hemoglobinopathies and Thalassemia

Thalassemia Reports, 2023
Next-generation ektacytometry provided by the osmoscan module of the Laser Optical Rotational Red Cell Analyser (LoRRca) MaxSis is, so far, one of the best complementary diagnostic tools for congenital rare anaemias due to red blood cell defects. Osmotic

Association of the red cell distribution width with red blood cell deformability. [PDF]

Adv Exp Med Biol, 2013
The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a component of the automated complete blood count (CBC) that quantifies heterogeneity in the size of circulating erythrocytes. Higher RDW values reflect greater variation in red blood cell (RBC) volumes and are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The mechanisms underlying this

Altered red blood cell deformability—A novel hypothesis for retinal microangiopathy in diabetic retinopathy

Microcirculation, 2020
Impaired red blood cell (RBC) deformability impedes tissue perfusion. This study aims to investigate RBC biomechanics in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with different grades of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to correlate RBC deformability with ...

Proteinuric chronic kidney disease is associated with altered red blood cell lifespan, deformability and metabolism.

Kidney International, 2021
Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease, affecting the quality of life of patients. Among various factors, such as iron and erythropoietin deficiency, reduced red blood cell (RBC) lifespan has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ...
