Abstract:
In a series 40 subjects without manifest vascular disorders received 1000 mg Calcium dobesilate (Doxium). Before and 3 hours after application the viscoelasticity of whole blood as well as plasma viscosity and the hematocrit were determined. The statistical analysis was performed by Wilcoxon-test. The viscosity of whole blood and the hematocrit decreased with a significance of p less than or equal to 0.001, whereas the elasticity decreased in a significance manner of p less than or equal to 0.01. Plasma viscosity remained uncharged. The results show an effect of hemodilution, which could be very important for treatment of hyperviscosity.
