Erythrocyte filtration.
The importance of erythrocyte deformability and its determinants in the microcirculation of normal subjects have been reviewed, whilst the method for measuring the erythrocyte filtration by means of nucleopore membranes has been described. Some determinants affecting the filtration rate have been investigated and reported.
