Descriptor English: Blood Viscosity
Descriptor Spanish: Viscosidad Sanguínea
Descriptor viscosidad sanguínea
Entry term(s) viscosidad de la sangre
Scope note: Resistencia interna de la SANGRE a las fuerzas de cizallamiento. La determinación in vitro de la viscosidad de la sangre total tiene una limitada utilidad clínica porque guarda una escasa relación con la viscosidad real en la circulación, pero un aumento en la viscosidad de la sangre circulante puede contribuir a morbilidad en pacientes con trastornos tales como ANEMIA DREPANOCÍTICA y POLICITEMIA.

Scope note: 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.
