  • Title: Effects of posture on plasma and serum viscosity.
    Author: Lippi U, Dell'Anna L, Cappelletti P.
    Journal: Ric Clin Lab; 1984; 14(1):47-52. PubMed ID: 6203163.
    Abstract:
    This study demonstrates the importance of defining normal reference population ranges for P- and S-viscosity with respect to posture. The normal ranges determined for P-viscosity are not acceptable as a reference range for a hospitalized population that is predominantly in a supine position. Mean percentage changes of P- and S-viscosity in the recumbent posture as compared to the same population in the upright posture were 7.51 and 5.88, respectively.
