Popis: Short gestation correlates with impairments in red cell filterability at birth. We used Nuclepore blood cell suspension filtration (Jones et al, 1985). There was no correlation between pore occupation time and mean red cell volume or leukocyte count. Irrespective of the cellular pathological cause(s) for this prematurity-related impairment of red cell filterability, this finding may reflect important in vivo phenomena: the pathogenesis of haemolysis, jaundice and circulatory stagnation, thrombosis and haemorrhage in neonatal life may depend in part on this malfunction of the fetal red cell after birth.
