Hemorheology

Hemorheology includes more than 10 indicators including whole blood specific viscosity, whole blood reducing viscosity, plasma viscosity, red blood cell electrophoresis time, platelet electrophoresis time, fibrinogen measurement, erythrocyte sedimentation and red blood cell deformation ability. It mainly reflects changes in blood fluidity, coagulation and blood viscosity caused by changes in blood components. Under normal circumstances, blood flows in blood vessels under the action of external force (blood pressure), and changes with changes in blood vessel properties (such as the condition of blood vessel walls and the shape of blood vessels) and blood components (viscosity), maintaining normal blood circulation . When blood viscosity becomes larger, blood fluidity becomes worse, and cerebral thrombotic diseases are most likely to occur. On the contrary, the viscosity is smaller and the fluidity is better.
