What happens during the disease - abnormal plasma viscosity

Abnormal plasma viscosity is a condition in which the viscosity of the blood plasma is higher than normal, resulting from an increase in the concentration of proteins, lipids, and/or red blood cells. the increase in plasma viscosity can cause an increase in blood pressure, impairing blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, leading to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. in addition, the increased viscosity of the plasma can lead to an increase in the risk of clotting, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete Blood Count
  • Blood Smear Examination
  • Plasma Protein Electrophoresis
  • Rheology Tests
  • Serum Immunoglobulins
  • Urine Protein Electrophoresis
  • Fibrinogen Level
  • Serum Protein Electrophoresis
  • Thrombin Time
  • Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal: Reduce abnormal plasma viscosity
  • Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation.
  • Order laboratory tests to measure plasma viscosity.
  • Evaluate the patient's lifestyle and make necessary changes.
  • Encourage the patient to maintain a healthy diet.
  • Provide advice and guidance on lifestyle modifications.
  • Administer intravenous fluids to reduce the viscosity of the plasma.
  • Perform an ultrasound to monitor the condition.
  • Recommend physical therapy to improve circulation.
  • Prescribe anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots.
  • Monitor the patient's progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
