Haemolytic thermal threshold of human erythrocytes has been determined by means of an especially designed microwave apparatus. Temperatures between 50 and 55 degree C are necessary to produce an initial haemolysis of erythrocytes in the whole blood, while the thermal threshold drops to 37 degree C for red blood cells suspended in buffered saline. Absorbed energy measurements permit the conclusion that the haemolytic effect is thermal in nature.

Abstract

Haemolytic thermal threshold of human erythrocytes has been determined by means of an especially designed microwave apparatus. Temperatures between 50 and 55 degree C are necessary to produce an initial haemolysis of erythrocytes in the whole blood, while the thermal threshold drops to 37 degree C for red blood cells suspended in buffered saline. Absorbed energy measurements permit the conclusion that the haemolytic effect is thermal in nature.
