DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR MALE AND FEMALE FORMS OF STERILITY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01N33/483 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: erythrocyte suspension of healthy individuals and sterile patients are pre-tested; average suspension cell velocities, minimum, average and maximum diameters thereof are measures while exposed to an alternating-electric field. These data are used to determine the electrical and viscoelastic erythrocyte parameters. The similar measurements of the erythrocyte samples are performed in a potentially sterile patient. The derived data are compared to the relevant corresponding values in a group of healthy individuals. If observing more than 60% of the parameters different from those in the group of healthy individuals, and incoming to the boundary values for the group of sterile patients, the patients suffering sterility undetectable by existing methods and caused by impaired microcirculation leading to ischemia are found.

EFFECT: method enables choosing the further therapeutic approach, decreases the complexity of the study.
