[Changes in the rheologic properties of erythrocytes in various hematologic diseases].

Some rheological properties of red blood cells were investigated in certain hematological diseases, considering the factors inducing disorders in red blood cell aggregation, deformability and viscosity. It has been shown that these disorders are responsible for increased blood viscosity and microcirculatory disorders in some blood diseases. The changes in red blood cell rheological properties play a significant role in the pathogenesis of thrombohemorrhagic complications in certain hematological diseases. The study of rheological mechanisms regulating blood circulation is necessary for successful development of optimal programs for combined treatment of hematological patients.
