[The individual selection of erythrocytes for regional clinics]
The article deals with the results of work of Krasnoyarsk kray blood center immune hematologic laboratory concerning selection of erythrocytes in 2003-2010. In Krasnoyarsk kray, the portion of transfusions of individually selected erythrocytes increases and reached 31.9%. The setting up of register of donors typed by Ab0 and Rhesus systems makes it possible to implement effectively the individual selection of erythrocytes in optimal time-frame and in amount needed in clinics.

Erythropoiesis
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...
Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...
Lifecycle of Erythrocytes
The resident phagocytic macrophages deal with these damaged cells by engulfing them and separating their globin and heme groups.
