Erythrocytes taken from patients with myopathy have previously been reported to have increased osmotic fragility. We have examined the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes from patients with various myopathies and from carriers. The osmotic fragility was the same as in unaffected controls.
The hypoosmotic lysis curve of freshly collected human erythrocytes is consistent with a single Gaussian error function with a mean of 46.5 + 0.25 mM NaCI and a standard deviation of 5.0 Β± 0.4 mM NaCI. After extended storage of RBCs under standard blood bank conditions the lysis curve conforms to th
