The problem of measuring plasma viscosity has been solved through the use of capillary and falling-ball viscosimeters which have a determination variance of less than 1%. On account of the influence of overeating, forced thirst, psychological and physical stress plasma viscosity should be determined in the morning; the patient should be fasting and well hydrated. Plasma viscosity is influenced by diseases with alterated plasma protein composition. An elevated viscosity also significantly increases the risk of developing an arterial occlusion. Since the physician can both decrease and increase plasma viscosity, it should be determined parallel to therapy. Accordingly, plasma viscosity is one of the most important rheological parameters.
