Properties of erythrocyte surface were investigated for patients with ischemic heart disease in the course of treatment with the UV-irradiated blood autotransfusion (UVIBA). Application of methods of light-scattering, photometry and cytochemistry revealed rapid and significant changes in deformability and aggregation properties of the erythrocytes immediately following each UVIBA procedure, which was accompanied by considerable blood viscosity decrease.
