[Mechanisms of post-traumatic anemia]

Diminution of hemolytic anemia in animals with bilateral nephrectomy was demonstrated in experiments on rats and dogs with trauma (24-hour crush syndrome). The mechanism of early posttraumatic erythrodieresis is linked with the effect of humoral hemolytic factors and injury to the poorly-stable red cell population during passage through the renal vessels of the animals 24 hours after the traumatic damage.
