[Rheologic problems of microcirculation and consequences of drug therapy for sudden deafness]

Microcirculation depends on the undisturbed functioning of the vessel walls as well as of the blood cells and plasma. Flow troubles are always highly complex. Viscosity of blood and plasma is of particular clinical interest, and so are the flexibility of red blood cells including the haemoconcentration and the physiology of coagulation. The authors concentrated on the "local hyperviscosity syndrome", which is one of the primary problems in disturbances of microcirculation, as the basis for their treatment of sudden deafness by fibrinolysis with streptokinase.
