Echinocyte formation is associated with a rigidification of the cells that may affect capillary
perfusion and, consequently, the tissue oxygen supply. This study examines how many …

Echinocyte formation is associated with a rigidification of the cells that possibly affects
capillary diffusion and, consequently, the tissue's oxygen supply. This study examines how …

Various radiographic contrast media (RCM) significantly influence the morphology of
erythrocytes, especially the formation of echinocytes [Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 35 (1975), 1 …

Red blood cells demonstrate a unique ability for repeated large deformation. Under the
influence of a variety of agents, shapes other than the discocyte–eg stomatocytes or …

Discussion From the results obtained it is evident that different contrast media induced
different changes in erythrocyte morphology. Echinocytes were produced by all contrast …

The influence of contrast media on blood viscosity, erythrocyte morphology and platelet
function was studied. In vitro blood was incubated with iopromide (Ultravist®), ioxaglate …

BACKGROUND: Haemodialysis, widely used to treat patients with renal failure, is not always
well tolerated. Different mechanisms have been postulated for this. We analyzed the …

The influence of four non-ionic contrast media on red blood cell morphology was analyzed.
The newly synthesized monomeric iopentol and the dimeric iodixanol were compared with …

We have conducted a series of studies using discontinuous arabinogalactan density
gradient ultracentrifugation of erythrocytes from the peripheral blood of: patients with sickle …

We report eight cases of echinocytosis discovered after screening of stained smears. The
presence of echinocytes was exceptional in adults and children but was more frequent in …
