Filtration techniques are widely used to as- Hyperviscosity in neonates is a frequent and potentially serious sess red blood cell (RBC) deformability and flow behavior condition, which may cause circulatory failure and impaired of RBC in microcirculation. In this study filtration rates of microcirculation in various vital organs (1). Blood viscosity is RBC from 10 very low birth weight infants (24-30 wk mainly determined by hematocrit. However, decreased RBC gestation), 10 more mature preterm infants (31-36 wk deformability can also contribute to an increase in blood viscos- gestation), 10 full-term neonates, and 10 adults were meas- ity. At high hematocrit, the deformability of RBC is particularly ured by using Nucleopore filters with pore diameters of 5 crucial because blood viscosity exhibits a larger increase with pm and filtration pressures of 1, 2,5, and 10 cm H20.The increasing hematocrit when RBC deformability is impaired (2). major results follow: 1) At each of four filtration pressures, Moreover, decreased RBC deformability may hinder the entry filtration rates of washed RBC were significantly (p < of 8-pm diameter RBC into capillaries with diameters of 3-4 pm 0.05) lower in the preterm infants than in the term neonates (3), slow down oxygen uptake and release in capillaries (4), and who in turn showed lower values than adults.

  • Hydroxyurea Enhances Fetal Hemoglobin Production in Sickle Cell Anemia
    Hydroxyurea enhances fetal hemoglobin production in sickle cell anemia. O S Platt, … , B Miller, D G Nathan J Clin Invest. 1984;74(2):652-656. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI111464. Research Article Hydroxyurea, a widely used cytotoxic/cytostatic agent that does not influence methylation of DNA bases, increases fetal hemoglobin production in anemic monkeys. To determine its effect in sickle cell anemia, we treated two patients with a total of four, 5-d courses (50 mg/kg per d, divided into three oral doses). With each course, fetal reticulocytes increased within 48-72 h, peaked in 7-11 d, and fell by 18-21 d. In patient I, fetal reticulocytes increased from 16.0 +/- 2.0% to peaks of 37.7 +/- 1.2, 40.0 +/- 2.0, and 32.0 +/- 1.4% in three successive courses. In patient II the increase was from 8.7 +/- 1.2 to 50.0 +/- 2.0%. Fetal hemoglobin increased from 7.9 to 12.3% in patient I and from 5.3 to 7.4% in patient II. Hemoglobin of patient I increased from 9.0 to 10.5 g/dl and in patient II from 6.7 to 9.9 g/dl. Additional single-day courses of hydroxyurea every 7-20 d maintained the fetal hemoglobin of patient I t 10.8-14.4%, and the total hemoglobin at 8.7- 10.8 g/dl for an additional 60 d. The lowest absolute granulocyte count was 1,600/mm3; the lowest platelet count was 390,000/mm3. The amount of fetal hemoglobin per erythroid burst colony-forming unit (BFU-E)-derived colony cell was unchanged, but the number of cells per BFU-E-derived colony increased.
