  • Title: Relationship between paired plasma and serum viscosity and plasma proteins in the horse.
    Author: Allen BV, Blackmore DJ.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1984 May; 36(3):360-3. PubMed ID: 6463380.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between paired plasma and serum viscosity measurements and plasma proteins, including fibrinogen, were compared in 106 horses with both normal and abnormal serum protein levels. There is a highly significant positive correlation between serum viscosity and total serum proteins and total globulin levels. The difference between plasma and serum viscosity correlated well with clottable fibrinogen concentration. Albumin levels showed a negative correlation with plasma and serum viscosity, globulins and fibrinogen. Simultaneous estimation of serum and plasma viscosity improves the diagnostic value of the latter test without appreciable increase in cost or time and should prove useful for screening large numbers of samples for the presence or absence of abnormal levels of globulins and, or, fibrinogen.
