Thick blood

Introduction to blood thickening Blood thickening refers to blood viscous, prone to thrombosis, or a sign before thrombosis, and many cases are also understood to be caused by increased blood lipid levels. Blood thick medicine is called hyperviscosity, which is easy for middle-aged and elderly people to be diagnosed by hemorheology. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: thrombosis

Blood thickening cause

1. The cell concentration is too high: the number of cells in the blood is relatively increased. For example, if the water in the elderly is relatively reduced and the water content in the blood is also reduced, the proportion of blood cells will increase relatively. As the liquid component in the blood decreases, the solid content increases, and the viscosity in the blood naturally increases.

2, blood viscosity increased: in addition to red blood cells in the blood, there are many plasma proteins, such as globulin, fibrinogen and so on. When these macromolecular proteins are increased, they often bind to red blood cells into a mesh, which increases the resistance of blood flow and leads to an increase in blood viscosity.

3. Increased aggregation of blood cells: Cells in the blood should be a single executive function rather than accumulating together. When there is some abnormality in the structure of red blood cells or platelets, red blood cells and platelets will accumulate together, which will block blood vessels and form a blood clot.

4. The deformability of blood cells is weakened: the capillaries in the human body are very fine. The smallest blood vessels can only allow one blood cell to pass through, and the blood cells must change shape when passing through small blood vessels to facilitate the passage, when the deformability of blood cells is weakened. When it passes through a small blood vessel, it is difficult to affect the blood flow velocity, thereby increasing the blood viscosity.

5, abnormal blood lipids: because the blood is systemic, so when the blood lipid content is too high, the blood's own viscosity can be changed. In addition, increased blood lipids inhibit fibrinolysis and increase blood viscosity consistency. Increased blood viscosity is conducive to the occurrence of coronary heart disease, and even induce acute myocardial infarction.

Blood thickening prevention

1, adhere to physical exercise: walking, brisk walking, jogging, tai chi, do aerobics, etc., can accelerate the body's lipid metabolism, reduce blood lipids and blood viscosity.

2. Relieve or eliminate mental stress, maintain a regular life and a happy mood.

Blood thickening complications Complications thrombosis

Can cause thrombosis.

Blood thickening symptoms Common symptoms Dizziness, difficulty breathing, asthmatic visual impairment

1, dizziness in the morning, not awake, slow thinking. Generally, after eating breakfast, the mind gradually becomes awake.

2, after lunch, sleepy, need to sleep for a while, otherwise the whole afternoon is listless. On the contrary, the mental state after dinner is particularly good.

3, squatting and working. When you squat, you return to your heart, your brain's blood is reduced, your lungs, brain and other organs are sore, causing difficulty breathing, so you have asthma.

4, paroxysmal vision blurred. The blood becomes thicker, the flow rate slows down, the blood cannot fully nourish the optic nerve, or the optic nerve or the retina is temporarily hypoxic, and the things are blurred.

Blood thick examination

Clinical hemorheology (referred to as hemorheology) is actually intended to simulate blood flow in the body by in vitro methods in order to make a judgment on the coagulation state of the blood and predict the future thrombosis.

Blood thickening diagnosis

Diagnosis can be performed based on clinical performance and laboratory tests.
