Abstract
Nineteen patients with the confirmed diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis have been investigated for hemorheological abnormalities (serum, plasma and whole blood viscosities, hematocrit, red cell filterability and aggregation, fibrinogen, ESR). Compared to matched controls these variables showed significant deterioration in patients. The pathophysiological relevance of the findings would seem to merit further investigation.
