Definition
English
:
The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole
blood viscosity
is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual
viscosity
within the circulation, but an increase in the
viscosity
of circulating blood can contribute to
morbidity
in
patients
suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL
ANEMIA
and
POLYCYTHEMIA.
