e have examined 20 SC patients on Percoll-Stractan continuous density gradients and find that they have an elevated mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Reduction of the MCHC to normal values results in amelioration of four physiologically important blood abnormalities: decreased oxygen affinity, viscosity of deoxygenated erythrocyte suspensions, rate of sickling, and deoxygenation induced K+ efflux. These observations suggest that the rehydration of SC cells to normal values should be considered a potential approach in the therapeutic manipulation of this disease.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
