Validation of a haemoglobin dilution method for estimation of blood loss.

abstract：:To elucidate the possible influence of previous blood transfusion on immune functions, the transfusion history of 153 patients admitted to hospital for elective colorectal surgery was correlated with lymphocyte subsets and natural killer (NK) cell function. The subsets determined were CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD20, C...
