Sample text

The exact mechanism of action for pentoxifylline is not entirely clear but it has been reported to increase red cell deformability and reduce blood viscosity. For these reasons, it is typically used in patients who have arterial occlusive diseases including sickle cell anemia [175]. Apart from pharmacological attempts to increase clearance or ­increase ­deformability, a mechanical means of clearance may be necessary to prevent damage to end organs in the case of acute hemolysis. Because of the relatively high molecular weight of the free hemoglobin molecule (64,000 Da or greater depending on dimerization), clearance through standard hemoconcentrators is not feasible.
