The error in assessment of the neutrophil phagocytic activity is 5.8%. This is attained by removal of conglomerations of phagocytosis objects and by ruling out the minimal variations in the duration of contact between the blood and foreign corpuscles and preparation of smears to be examined on the same slide. The content of up to 90% red cells does not influence the neutrophil phagocytic activity, and higher concentration reduces its level.

As shown in in vitro original modelling of red cell action on phagocytic process in the whole blood of patients with urological inflammation, these patients have increased count of neutrophils involved in phagocytosis, but low specific absorption of these neutrophils due to red cells. In chronic renal insufficiency characterized by a low phagocytic activity of neutrophils only stimulating potential of red cells can be noted.
