Should not inform clinical hemorheology practice; hypothesis-generating for RBC rigidity effects on platelet adhesion in vivo.
In vitro experiments demonstrate that plasma viscosity affects platelet adhesion biphasically, with higher viscosities increasing adhesion secondarily through enhanced red blood cell rigidity.
Breugel et al. (1992) studied this question.
