title: [Parameters of the distribution of blood cell volumes in chronic renal failure].
abstract: Factor analysis was used to study the relationships of the count of red blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and platelets in health and chronic renal failure (CHF). The concentrations of cells, their average volume, and the indices of its distribution volume parameters (standard deviation, asymmetry coefficient, and excess gradient) were determined. It has been shown that the values of these characteristics are closely coordinated and the factor structure of fixed correlations depends on the state of an organism, has gender specific features, and produces a clear morphofunctional portrait of each of the stages of the course of CHF. It is concluded that the data on the volume of blood cells may be used as auxiliary information in the differential diagnosis of CHF.
