RESUMO
Hemodialysis is a method of treatment of patients suffering from terminal renal disease and consists in removing uremic toxins from blood. The influence of hemodialysis on rheological properties of red blood cells was ascertained. We studied the deformability of RBC after density gradient separation of whole blood drawn from patients with renal disease before and after dialysis. The improvement in deformability of cells from the top layers was observed in postdialysis samples.
