Whole blood specific viscosity

Whole blood specific viscosity not only detects changes in the blood itself (mainly red blood cells), but also understands changes in blood vessels and the heart. Whole blood specific viscosity is divided into two types of viscosity: high shear and low shear. High incidence viscosity reflects the deformability of red blood cells, blood with low deformation ability of red blood cells has high shear viscosity; low shear viscosity reflects the ability of red blood cells to aggregate, and blood with red blood cells agglomerating increases in low shear viscosity.
