    Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients show altered blood viscosity and erythrocyte filtration. These findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for improving MS prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Neuroimmunology
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
    • Understanding blood rheology in MS is crucial for disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate blood rheology differences in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients compared to healthy controls.
    • To identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in MS.

    Main Methods:

    • Whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte filtration were measured.
    • Scanning electron microscopy and erythrocyte membrane analysis were performed.
    • Leukocyte counts were compared between MS patients and controls.

    Main Results:

    • MS patients exhibited higher whole blood viscosity and lower erythrocyte filtration rates.

  • Significant differences in erythrocyte morphology and membrane composition were observed in MS.
  • Elevated leukocyte counts were found in MS patients.
  • Conclusions:

    • Identifiable and potentially correctable abnormalities in blood rheology exist in MS.
    • These findings offer hope for inhibiting MS progression and improving patient prognosis.
