The samples were examined by flow-cytometric osmotic fragility test and the percentage of residual red blood cells was used to determine HS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Varicose Veins
These cells were more sensitive to hemolysis than red blood cells from the peripheral blood vein.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Changes in the plasma membrane of the erythrocytes from varicose vein were also confirmed by measuring osmotic fragility.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acquired Spherocytosis
One blood test used to diagnose HS is called osmotic fragility. The patient’s red blood cells are placed in different concentrations of salt water (saline) for 24 hours.[ihtc.org]
However, they have a high osmotic fragility—when placed into water, they are more likely to burst than normal red blood cells.[en.wikipedia.org]
Interpret the osmotic fragility test and distinguish between normal and HS red blood cells using this assay.[hematology.org]
Chorea
We found a marked increase in the osmotic fragility of red blood cells in the ChAc mutant mice backcrossed to 129S6/Sv and FVB.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acquired Hemolytic Anemia
Interpret the osmotic fragility test and distinguish between normal and HS red blood cells using this assay.[hematology.org]
In PNH, the red blood cells are missing certain proteins. The test for PNH can detect red blood cells that are missing these proteins. Osmotic fragility test.[theoncologyinstitute.com]
In PNH, the red blood cells are missing certain proteins. The test for PNH looks for red blood cells that are missing these proteins. Osmotic fragility test.[daviddarling.info]
Systemic Scleroderma
It is likely that nifedipine inhibiting cytoplasmic calcium accumulation could restore some red blood cell membrane properties.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the present study we were able to demonstrate that erythrocyte deformability and two other related variables such as membrane fluidity and osmotic fragility improve significantly[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type 2
A patient with multiorgan involvement of non-iatrogenic hemochromatosis secondary to congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type 2 is described. The clinical manifestations of hemochromatosis preceded the diagnosis of CDA. CDA should be included among the hematological disorders associated with iron overload. Iron[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
