Abstract
There are several types of illness leading to changes in the viscosity of blood, plasma or serum. Determination of the viscosity alone, therefore, will not make possible an unambiguous diagnosis of any particular complaint. However, determination of the viscosity–temperature correlation in blood serum, in addition to conventional diagnostic means, can lead to more accurate diagnostic information. This is explained by the dependence of viscosity on certain physio-chemical factors.
