Abstract
PALOMINO Q., FERNANDO; BAUTISTA T., LEONARDO and GARCIA O., MICHEL A.. NEOCYTOLYSIS. rev.fac.med [online]. 2009, vol.17, n.1, pp.130-136. ISSN 0121-5256.
The present revision describes Neocytolysis, a process of selective hemolysis of young erythrocytes, demonstrated in patients with chronic renal insufficiency when suspended from treatment with recombinant erythropoietin and documented, also, in astronauts when entering in contact with microgravity and in people acclimated to great altitude, when they descend to sea level. The model postulated until now to demonstrate selective hemolysis "in vivo" is also discussed, which allows to establish the new function of trophic factor for erythropoietin in the plasmatic erythroid maturation and comments are made on the clinical scenarios and the applications towards the future of this process.
Keywords : hemolysis; erythropoietin.
