Abnormal high Whole blood viscosity in Diabetes Mellitus: A Study

Dr. Ajay Kumar Mishra

Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, lifelong condition that affects ability of our body to use the energy found in food substances. It is a one of the most common endocrine disorder. All the Hemorheological parameters in diabetes mellitus are usually disturbed. These parameters consist of plasma proteins, erythrocyte aggregation, hematocrit, and erythrocyte deformability. The abnormalities associated with each of these parameters have been shown to noticeably increase both plasma and whole blood viscosity (WBV). Blood viscosity is a measure of the resistance to blood flow. Purpose of the present study is to explore the factors responsible for rise in blood viscosity in diabetes mellitus patients. In present study, estimation of blood viscosity has been done on 50 patients of diabetes and 25 controls. In present study it was observed that there is significant rise in blood viscosity in diabetese mellitus patients in compare to normal control person.
