EFFECT OF ION BALANCE CHANGE ON ERYTHROCYTE DIAMETER
Keywords:
rythrocyte, Na and Ca ions, erythrocyte diameterAbstract
The aim of our study was to determine the content of Na + and K + ions in erythrocytes in volunteers of different age groups and to understand the results obtained by influencing the variability of cell shape (diameter). Studies have shown that the intracellular Na- content in the erythrocytes of the elderly increases and the K- ion content decreases. Consequently, the diameter of erythrocytes increases with age, which in turn leads to a decrease in cell deformity, which may lead to an unfavorable clinical condition of the patient.
