Abstract:
Gestational hypertension is characterized by a contracted plasma volume with hemoconcentration and hyperviscosity. Additional rheological parameters are an elevated red blood cell aggregation and impaired erythrocyte deformability. It is possible, that the increase of erythrocyte rigidity may result from a redistribution of cellular calcium metabolism or from interchanges with plasma lipids.
