  • Title: Erythrocyte survival in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
    Author: Adornato BT, Corash L, Engel WK.
    Journal: Neurology; 1977 Nov; 27(11):1093-4. PubMed ID: 563005.
    Abstract:
    Hemolysis was investigated in seven patients with Duchenne dystrophy. No increase in red-cell turnover was detected by indirect measurement (hemoglobin, reticulocyte count, plasma hemoglobin, serum haptoglobin) or by turnover of 51Cr-labeled erythrocytes. Our findings fail to support the likelihood of a significant erythrocyte membrane defect.
