Abstract:
A method is presented that allows the measurement of erythrocyte filtration times that are extremely prolonged. Filtration times through polycarbonate sieves are increased by a factor of 40 after 2 h incubation with 30 mM sodium chlorate. This increase in red cell rigidity offers an explanation for the haemolysis observed in chlorate poisoning in vivo.
