[Acid resistance of the erythrocyte membranes in patients undergoing periodic hemodialysis treatment].

The method of acid erythrograms were used in the study of age structure of the erythrocyte population in 38 patients treated with periodical hemodialysis. It was established that the number of young erythrocytes predominated in 76.3 per cent of the patients studied, being 164 per cent of the norm. That was established by the shifting of the erythrogram to the right of the normal. Erythrograms shifted to the left were established in 5,3 per cent of the patients and normal--the rest 18,4%. The number of the blood cells in the erythrograms shifted to the left is reduced to 23.3 per cent from the norm. A different degree of anemia in all three groups was observed but no correlation could be confirmed between the severity of anemia and the changes in erythrograms.
