Hemorheological parameters and their correlations in OXYS rats: a new model of hyperviscosity syndrome.

Rheohaemapheresis aims to normalize major rheological parameters and is used to treat patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). While effective, this approach is invasive and requires specially trained personnel. Therefore, the search for novel effective compounds with hemorheological properties that can be taken orally to treat AMD is justified.
