[Serotonin concentration in the blood of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
Differences in the concentrations of serotonin in whole blood and plasma of patients with hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome prompted measurements of serotonin in different components of the blood. The concentration of serotonin in whole blood was found to depend on its hemoconcentration: the higher is the hematocrit, the greater is the difference between serotonin content in the plasma and whole blood. In case of hemoconcentration or hemodilution it is impossible to assess serotoninemia from the level of serotonin in whole blood.
