Popis: |
Two families with inherited abnormalities in Na and K transport across the red cell membrane are described. Both presented with 'pseudohyperkalaemia' as a result of loss of K from the red cells on storage at room temperature. Routine haematology was essentially normal, except for macrocytosis in one family. Studies of the temperature dependence of the passive leak to K showed a novel shoulder pattern with a minimum at 25 degrees C, a maximum at 10 degrees C, followed by a further fall. As in other cases of red cell-based pseudohyperkalaemia, the abnormal temperature dependence of this 'leak' flux could be held to account for the loss of K from the cells at room temperature. These cases represent a novel variant of the temperature dependence of the passive leak of K and Na across the red cell membrane, and can be classified as a mild, non-haemolytic form of the group known as the hereditary stomatocytosis and allied disorders'. |
