Red cell deformability

J A Dormandy. Eur Neurol. 1983.

Abstract

Deformation of red cells is an essential quality necessary for normal circulation. It can best be assessed by filtration techniques and these have revealed marked abnormalities in patients with cerebral ischemia. Whatever the exact pathological process involved, therapy aimed at normalizing red cell deformability may well be a successful approach to the treatment of cerebral ischemia.
