Changes of Blood Cells at High Altitude

概要

論文の詳細を見る
An improved method for acquiring acclimatization to high altitude has been developed in Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro, in East Africa: Resting on a highland after exposure to high altitudes of 5,000m, gives one the ability to climb to 6,000m without symptoms of mountain sickness. Changes in blood components are checked by a direct counting method, one which is seldom used because of inconvenience. Though RBC de-creases at the beginning of the first ascent, it in-creases, during the second ascent, in proportion to the height of the mountain. The granulocytosis of the bone marrow may be disturbed when there is oxygen deficiency, and matured or aged leucocytes having five segmental nuclei increase. It is suggested that changes in serum protein are the result of complicated metabolic changes.
