[Methodological survey of whole blood filtration in the evaluation of erythrocyte deformability. I. Effect of temperature].
We have demonstrated how temperature affects whole blood filterability. The filtration index appears to be dependent on temperature; the higher temperature is, the higher it rises. At body temperature of 37 degrees C the method resulted more reliable.
