Abstract
Erythrocyte microrheology changes were measured by cation-osmotic haemolysi s (COH) in healthy donors, patients with ischaemic stroke, and patients who died within four days after a stroke. COH in patients with stroke was sign ificantly decreased in comparison with that from healthy donors. In patient s who died, COH was significantly decreased compared to patients who surviv ed. The relationship between cationo-smotic haemolysis and erythrocyte defo rmability is discussed.
