  • Title: [Various plasma components and whole blood viscosity in patients with the vascular form of vibration disease].
    Author: Turczyński B, Sroczyński J, Wegiel A.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1985; 36(5):303-8. PubMed ID: 3831700.
    Abstract:
    In 82 men suffering from vascular form of the vibration disease, divided by the degree of its advancement into two groups: I--consisting of 42 persons (average age 40 +/- 7,5 years) at an early stage of the disease and II--consisting of 40 persons (average age 49.7 +/- 5.6 years) with an advanced stage of the disease--the whole blood and plasma viscosity, the plasma fibrinogen level, the total protein level and its fractions and the total cholesterol level were determined. The control group (III) consisted of 100 men in good health (average age 41.3 +/- 8.4 years). The studies showed in both groups with the disease a significant growth of alpha 1, gamma globulins and fibrinogen. It was demonstrated that the increased blood viscosity is--among other things--a consequence of increased plasma viscosity and proteins disturbances.
