...Luigi Buscarini We have studied the granulocyte reserve of bone marrow (ethiocholanolone test), the morphological aspects and the mitotic index of the granulopoietic line in 10 patients undergoing long-term haemodialysis. The granulocyte reserve was reduced in 7 cases. This phenomenon is probably...

...E. Magliulo; M. Gallina; D. Scevola; E. Concia In patients with HBAg-positive and HBAg-negative viral hepatitis the etiocholanolone test showed a decrease of the bone marrow granulocyte reserve at the height and, though at a lower degree, at the end of the disease. These results are discussed...

...G. Cambiaghi; S. Paina In patients with cirrhosis, the etiocholanolone test showed a decrease in the bone marrow granulocyte reserve; in all the cases studied, the baseline counts of peripheral granulocytes were normal. The mechanisms leading to such a defect are explained. Cirrhosis Bone...

...G. Cambiaghi; S. Paina; A. de Carli; B. Colombo; M. Carrabba; E. Foresce In 10 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with normal baseline granulocyte count, the etiocholanolone test showed a decrease in the bone marrow granulocyte reserve; factors causing such a defect are discussed. © 1980 S...

...Hani G. Jumean; Ferial I. Sudah Bone marrow granulocyte reserves and the bone marrow storage pool were evaluated in 10 Jordanian adult patients with chronic benign idiopathic neutropenia, by measurement of the peripheral blood granulocyte increment following the administration of hydrocortisone...
