title: [The thrombocyte count and potassium concentration of the blood in acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (towards an understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of hemopoiesis)].
abstract: The authors show that when platelet count and potassium concentrations in ANLL patients correlate positively or do not correlate, there is a positive and negative correlation between survival and hemoglobin level (number of red cells), respectively. Clinically, it means that in certain conditions hemotransfusion of red cell mass may be useless or even harmful. In groups with different relationships between platelet count and blood potassium levels, other indicators also vary in interrelations. Thus, in the groups compared cholesterol concentration correlated differently with platelet number, hemoglobin and potassium concentrations. It is suggested that in certain conditions group correlation may be similar to individual (physiological) correlation of the signs. In situation when it is true, great methodological prospects are opened for quantitative description and investigation of physiological regularities.
