fragility of blood

fragility /fra·gil·i·ty/ (frah-jil´it-e) susceptibility, or lack of resistance, to influences capable of causing disruption of continuity or integrity.

fragility of blood erythrocyte f.

capillary fragility abnormal susceptibility of capillary walls to rupture.

erythrocyte fragility susceptibility of erythrocytes to hemolysis under certain conditions.

mechanical fragility susceptibility of certain erythrocytes to hemolysis under mechanical stress.

osmotic fragility susceptibility of certain erythrocytes to hemolysis in increasingly hypotonic saline solutions.

fragility of blood

The increased susceptibility of red blood cells to break down when exposed to varying concentrations of saline.

fragility [frah-jil´ĭ-te]

susceptibility, or lack of resistance, to influences capable of causing disruption of continuity or integrity.

fragility of blood erythrocyte fragility.

capillary fragility abnormal susceptibility of capillary walls to rupture with extravasation.

erythrocyte fragility unusual susceptibility of erythrocytes to hemolysis under certain conditions; see mechanical fragility and osmotic fragility.

mechanical fragility unusual susceptibility of certain erythrocytes to hemolysis under mechanical stress.

osmotic fragility susceptibility of certain erythrocytes to hemolysis when exposed to increasingly hypotonic solutions; seen in some forms of hemolytic anemia and spherocytosis. A test of osmotic fragility is used in diagnosis of some types of hemolytic anemia.

fragility

susceptibility, or lack of resistance, to influences capable of causing disruption of continuity or integrity.

fragility of blood

see erythrocyte fragility (below).

capillary fragility

abnormal susceptibility of capillary walls to rupture.

erythrocyte fragility

susceptibility of erythrocytes to hemolysis when subjected to mechanical trauma (mechanical fragility) or when exposed to increasingly hypotonic saline solutions (osmotic fragility). A test of erythrocyte osmotic fragility is used in diagnosing hemolytic anemia. Called also fragility of blood.
