Aggregation reactions of platelets and erythrocytes were studied in chronic renal failure. Differences in the mechanism of aggregation of platelets and erythrocytes are discussed on the basis of data showing opposite changes in the aggregation function of cells of the same subjects under similar conditions.Laboratory of Physiology of the Circulation, I.
