  • Title: [Osmolar and mechanic resistance of erythrocytes in chronic liver diseases].
    Author: Konrad H, Brust B, Oldenburg G.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1977 Mar 15; 32(6):143-7. PubMed ID: 868193.
    Abstract:
    Out of 120 patients with chronic liver diseases (45 liver cirrhosis, 38 chronic hepatitis, 15 fatty degeneration of the liver and 22 stasis liver) the osmotic resistance of the erythrocytes after Hennemann and the mechanic resistance after Schubothe was determined. 24% of the patients had a decreased osmotic resistance of the erythrocytes, even 55% a decreased incubation resistance. 16% of the patients with liver diseases had a decreased mechanic resistance of the erythrocytes. The comparison of the groups of disease and the stages of the diseases resulted in an increased mechanical resistance of the erythrocytes only for the decompensated liver cirrhosis. A positive correlation was the result between the degree of the haemolysis and the spherical index of the erythrocytes.
