  • Title: [Blood, plasma, erythrocyte viscosity and index of erythrocyte filtration in subjects with hyperlipemia].
    Author: Craveri A, Tornaghi G, Paganardi L, Lanfredini M, Citella C, Leonardi G.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1987 Jun 30; 78(12):823-9. PubMed ID: 3601130.
    Abstract:
    40 hyperlipidaemic patients (26 type II a and b, 14 type IV) and 50 healthy controls were studied. The patients were not suffering from any other pathology of note and were under no drug treatment. Blood viscosity at natural Ht and at Ht 45% and plasma viscosity were measured. Red blood cell viscosity and deformability was studied on washed red cells, poor in leucocytes and platelets and suspended in a saline phosphate buffer. The patients with hyperlipidaemia had blood viscosity higher than healthy people. Red blood cell and plasma viscosity were higher in subjects with hyperlipidaemia. There was no difference in the filtration index between the people under study. The increased blood viscosity found in people with hyperlipidaemia appears to be attributable to changes in both the plasma and the erythrocytes.
