An automated filtration technique has been used to investigate the effect of dipyridamole (DP) on red blood cell deformability in patients identified as having rigid red cells. They were patients on haemodialysis (HD) for chronic renal failure (n = 18), patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD

## Abstract Hydroxyurea is a drug that is used to treat some patients with sickle cell disease. We have measured the deformability of sickle erythrocytes incubated in hydroxyurea in vitro and found that hydroxyurea acts to decrease the deformability of these cells. The deformability of normal eryth
## Background: Red blood cells (rbcs) have to deform markedly to pass through the smallest capillaries of the microcirculation. techniques for measuring rbc deformability often result in an indication of the mean value. a deformability distribution would be more useful for studying diseases that ar
