PAS-Positive Erythroblasts in Kidney Diseases

Pathogenetic Aspects of Anemia in Long-Term Hemodialyzed Patients

“…As usual, the erythroblasts are PAS-negative. However, K lein and H eller [9] revealed a high percentage of PAS-positive erythroblasts in patients who had died of uremia or were in the terminal stage. These contradictory reports may depend on the differ ent seriousness of the disease.…”

Histochemical Demonstration of Uridine Diphosphate Glucose-Glycogen Glucosyltransferase and Phosphorylase in Rabbit Blood and Bone Marrow Cells on Smears and Their Distribution

“…In all steps of erythrocytic series, the UDPGGT and phosphorylase activities were not demonstrable in this experiment, but it may presumably be possible to demonstrate these enzymes in the human megaloblasts and erythroblasts, because of Occasional presence of glycogen in those cells (2,3,11,15). Its demonstration will be performed in the future.…”
