Description
A hemorheology test measures blood flow properties to assess circulation disorders, often needed for diabetes, hypertension, or stroke risk evaluation; costs ¥30–75 at partner hospitals in China, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting with booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Hemorheology tests are primarily used to assess the flow properties of blood, including viscosity and deformability. They help in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension. These tests are also useful in evaluating the risk of thrombosis and in guiding treatment plans for patients with circulatory disorders.
Normal Range
The normal range for hemorheology tests typically includes: Whole Blood Viscosity (Low Shear): 5-10 mPa·s, Whole Blood Viscosity (High Shear): 3-6 mPa·s, Plasma Viscosity: 1.4-1.8 mPa·s, Erythrocyte Aggregation Index: 2-6, Erythrocyte Deformability Index: 0.5-0.7.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Possible causes of low values include: Anemia, Hypoproteinemia, Overhydration, Severe liver disease, Chronic bleeding
High Values - Possible Causes
Possible causes of high values include: Hyperlipidemia, Diabetes, Hypertension, Polycythemia, Dehydration, Inflammation or infection, Malignant tumors
