Objective:
To investigate the effect of ECR I, RBC-C3bRR, RBC-ICR on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
Method:
Fifty-four inpatients with OSAHS and 20 healthy controls at the same age were enrolled. 1 ml fresh whole blood with stomach empty in early morning were collected before and after the surgery to detect ECR I , RBC-C3bRR and RBC-ICR.
Result:
The erythrocyte immune function of the OSAHS group was lower than that of the control group.
Conclusion:
Erythrocyte immune functional disorder plays an important role in OSAHS and surgical procedures is effective in correcting the changes.
