Descriptor English: Osmotic Fragility
Descriptor Spanish: Fragilidad Osmótica
Descriptor fragilidad osmótica
Entry term(s) fragilidad salina
Scope note: Sensibilidad de los ERITROCITOS a los cambios de la PRESIÓN OSMÓTICA. Cuando se exponen a una solución de sodio hipotónica, entra más agua en los eritrocitos y se hinchan hasta que se excede la capacidad de la membrana celular y explotan.
