Abstract

Erythrocyte osmotic fragility is a laboratory test which evaluates the stability of the erythrocyte membrane to osmotic stress. The aim of this review is to highlight research findings on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence erythrocyte osmotic fragility. The extrinsic factors include the type, ionic strength and pH of incubation media, type of anticoagulant and storage time of the blood, ambient temperature, drugs, medicinal plant extracts, xenobiotics, chemical agents; whereas intrinsic factors are age, sex, breed, species, pregnancy, lactation and genetic factors. Membrane composition, ion transports, aquaporin action, lipid peroxidation, and eryptosis of erythrocytes are involved in the variability of osmotic fragility. Increased osmotic fragility and improved osmotic stability of erythrocytes are pathophysiological phenomena that require appropriate interpretation in research or clinical investigation and the understanding of the factors affecting osmotic fragility will aid in the laboratory assessment of conditions related to erythrocytes where erythrocyte osmotic fragility test is used.Keywords: Erythrocyte, Extrinsic factors, Intrinsic factors, Osmotic fragility, Osmotic stability

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
