## 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
The serum ferritin (SERFER) may be elevated and misleading in the setting of chronic disease (chronic inflammation, liver disease, and neoplasm). The red cell ferritin (RB- CFER) may be more stable in clinical situations that affect the SERFER. We compared the ability of SERFER and RBCFER to assess
## Abstract In a retrospective study of 126 adult patients with FrenchβAmericanβBritishβdefined refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), staging by the International Prognostic Scoring System was highly predictive of survival outcome (__P__ < 0.0001). In addition, red blood cell (RBC) tra
