Nitrite effects on deformability and hydration of sickle red blood cells A. Average DI Max for sickled RBC treated with or without sodium nitrite (10 μM) and/or calcium chloride (2 mM). Nitrite had a small though insignificant protective effect against hypoxia-induced deformability loss (p=0.11; n=5 patients). B. Average Osm Max for sickled RBC treated with or without sodium nitrite (10 μM) and/or calcium chloride (2 mM). Nitrite had a small though insignificant protective effect against hypoxia-induced dehydration (p=0.092; n=5 patients).
