Blood Viscosity in Waldenstr # { 246
نویسنده
چکیده
Erythrocytes and plasma proteins contribrelated (p < 0.001) with the plasma ute to viscosity of blood. Therefore, blood macroglobulin concentration in g/100 ml. viscosity was measured in 16 persons with The plasma of patients with macroglobumacroglobulinemia with a cone-plate vislinemia is a non-Newtonian fluid, but at a cometer at defined shear rates. In each given shear rate the plasma viscosity is a person a significant correlation ( p < function of the macroglobulin concentra0.001) was found between hematocrit tion. These observations allowed the conand the logarithm of blood viscosity. The struction of an equation for calculation regression equation of this relationship in of blood viscosity in patients with macroeach patient was used to calculate the globulinemia when the hematocrit and blood viscosity at several hematocrits. The plasma macroglobulin concentrations are blood viscosity at a given shear rate and known. constant hematocrit was significantly cor-

By ELSIE \V. HOUSTON, STEPHAN E. RITZMANN AND WILLIAM C. LEVIN B OTTURA ET AL.’ and German et al.,2 in 1961, described a unique chromosomal abnormality in a patient with primary macroglobulinemia (Waldenstr#{246}m ). Similar findings have subsequently been reported in 11 patients.3’9 Two types of abnormal chromosomes have been recognized: a metacentric larger than any other in the cell2 and a s...
متن کاملMyelomatosis with the a2-type serum protein pattern.
By J. A. OWEN AND W. D. RIDER P ATIENTS WITH MYELOMATOSIS, whose electrophoretic serum protein patterns have contained a discrete component in the a2-globulin fraction, have been described on very few occasions; moreover, not all of the reported cases have been universally accepted as instances of “a2-type” myeloma protein. Indeed, Waldenstr#{246}m1’2 has questioned the existence of the “a2-typ...
متن کاملChlorambucil treatment of patients with cold agglutinin syndrome.
T HE COLD AGGLUTININ SYNDROME (C.A.S.) is characterized by high-titre cold agglutinins, a hemolytic anemia, Raynaud phenomena in the cold, various degrees of hemoglobinuria, and sometimes gangrene. Because of the hemolysis, the syndrome is most often classified as an autoimmune hemolytic anemia. However, treatment with ACTH, corticosteroids or splenectomy, most often used in this condition, has...

Several abnormalities in HSA metabolism occurred in different combinations in different patients and no single con...
