What is Blood Viscosity and Flow Dynamics about?

Blood is a complex fluid whose viscosity depends on hematocrit, plasma proteins, and flow properties. At low shear rates, red blood cells aggregate, increasing viscosity, but at higher rates they line up streamlined. Conditions like infections and cancers can increase aggregation. Viscosity also depends on plasma proteins - high molecular weight proteins significantly increase it. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate indirectly measures viscosity, with elevated rates indicating inflammation.
