Blood rheological properties in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD).

30 Jul 2009 Inflammatory processes and psychological states may mutually enhance each other as well as contribute to haemorheological alterations. The objective of the recent study was to determine blood rheological profile in patients with AD at different ... Read more...

Myeloproliferative disorders and the hyperviscosity syndrome.

30 Jul 2009 Myeloproliferative disorders and the serum hyperviscosity syndrome can rapidly manifest with emergent presentations. Hyperviscosity occurs from pathologic elevations of either the cellular or acellular (protein) fractions of the circulating blood. ... Read more...

Effect of blood hematocrit and erythrocyte deformability on adenosine 5'-diphosphate platelet reactivity in patients with acute coronary syndromes on dual antiplatelet therapy.

16 Jul 2009 Previous studies have explored the association between hemorheologic alterations and aspirin resistance, pointing out the possible interaction between hematologic components and platelet responsiveness to antiplatelet drugs. The aim of this study ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Blood Viscosity'

Definition: The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.
