  • Title: [Blood rheologic disorders in patients with polycythemia vera and their correction by therapeutic erythrocytapheresis].
    Author: Likhovetskaia ZM, Prigozhina TA, Gorbunova NA, Kalinin NN, Petrov MM.
    Journal: Gematol Transfuziol; 1989 Nov; 34(11):33-6. PubMed ID: 2612862.
    Abstract:
    The rheologic blood properties were studied in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) before and after erythrocytapheresis. The patients with PV showed a complex of hemorheologic disorders (high blood viscosity at different rates of deviation, intensified red blood cell aggregation, decreased deformability of these cells) found to be implicated in the disease pathogenesis. Erythrocytapheresis promoted the improvement of the rheologic characteristics such as dynamic blood viscosity and the red blood cell aggregation ratio.
