[Rheological properties of solutions of purified hemoglobin and blood]

The results of studying rheological properties of solutions of purified hemoglobin and its mixtures with blood indicate low relative viscosity of the solutions, as well as an appreciable decrease, when the blood is diluted with these solutions, of the indicators of its viscosity and yield stress without impairment of the blood suspension stability. This allows the conclusion about prospectiveness of further studies aimed at the design of hemocorrectors on the basis of extraerythrocytic hemoglobin.
