“…Nevertheless, most authorities are in agreement that peripheral vascular, cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease are more common [I, 10,12]. This relationship has usually been attributed to the coexisting type II hyperlipoproteinaemia [8], However, an increase in the apparent internal viscosity of red cells produces a most noticeable effect at the level of microcirculation. When the calibre of a vessel reaches a critical size, a small reduction in ery throcyte deformability causes an abrupt increase in flow resistance.…”

Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, aggregation of red cells and internal viscosity (deformability) of erythrocytes were investigated in twelve hyperthyroid patients and six hypothyroid patients. Significant differences were found in the calculated relative blood viscosity and also in the deformability of red cells in these two groups. It is suggested that the increase in relative blood viscosity and in the deformability of the red cell may, in part, account for the circulatory disturbance in hypothyroidism.
