Recombinant human erythropoietin [rhEPO (180 iu/micrograms); 1 or 10 micrograms polypeptide equivalent/kg] was intravenously administered daily to 6-week-old normal rats for 1 week. Rheologically, (1) blood viscosity at shear rate of 40-380 s-1 increased in a manner entirely dependent upon the haematocrit, (2) no change in erythrocyte deformability was detected by high shear rheoscopy, and (3) the velocity of rouleau formation in autologous plasma (at 7.5 s-1) decreased. Haematologically, rhEPO administration induced considerable polycythaemia with reticulocytosis in a dose-dependent manner, accompanying increased cell volume and decreased intracellular haemoglobin concentration, thus the density distribution of erythrocytes shifted towards low specific gravity. Plasma viscosity and plasma protein composition were unaffected by rhEPO-administration. In erythrocyte metabolism, no drastic alteration in the level of 2.3-DPG or ATP was detected.

D001809 Blood Viscosity The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.

D004903 Erythrocyte Aggregation The formation of clumps of RED BLOOD CELLS under low or non-flow conditions, resulting from the attraction forces between the red blood cells. The cells adhere to each other in rouleaux aggregates. Slight mechanical force, such as occurs in the circulation, is enough to disperse these aggregates. Stronger or weaker than normal aggregation may result from a variety of effects in the ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE or in BLOOD PLASMA. The degree of aggregation is affected by ERYTHROCYTE DEFORMABILITY, erythrocyte membrane sialylation, masking of negative surface charge by plasma proteins, etc. BLOOD VISCOSITY and the ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE are affected by the amount of erythrocyte aggregation and are parameters used to measure the aggregation.
