Abstract
Erythrocyte microrheology changes were measured by cation-osmotic haemolysis (COH) in healthy donors, patients with ischameic stroke, and patients who died within four days after a stroke. COH in patients with stroke was significantly decreased in comparison with that from healthy donors. In patients who died, COH was significantly decreased compared to patients who survived. The relationship between cationosmotic haemolysis and erythrocyte deformability is discussed.
