Abstract
The viscosity of whole blood and plasma of 232 samples with hematocrit values varying from 35 - 52% was determined in a capillary viscometer. The regression equations of the whole blood and plasma viscosity readings of each hematocrit group demonstrate highly significant linearity. Changes in plasma viscosity probably affect the overall viscosity of whole blood at the smae hematoctit levels. This effect of plasma is more pronounced at higher hematocrit levels than in the low ranges.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
