Whole Blood Viscosity in Individuals with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Exploring the Role of the Porous Bed Viscometer.

Abstract

The study was performed to evaluate the capacity of a porous bed viscometer (PBV) to demonstrate differences in blood viscosity in patients with diabetes mellitus and to investigate the role that various cellular and plasma components play in determining blood viscosity at physiologic shear rates.
