RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIABETIC MICROANGIOPATHY AND RED CELL DEFORMABILITY. [J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University (3):189-192(1991) DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.1991.03.004.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIABETIC MICROANGIOPATHY AND RED CELL DEFORMABILITY
Red cell deformability in diabetics is much lower than that in normal controls. In patients with diabetic retinopathy
the decrease of red cell deformability is much more prominent than in patients without. Urinary albumin excretion rate in diabetic patients is inversely correlated with red cell deformability .The data above suggest that there is a close relationship between decreased red cell deformability and microangtopathy in diabetic patients
