bp(MESH:"Erythrocyte Aggregation") decreases bp(MESH:"Blood Viscosity") View Subject | View Object

Another consequence of the axial RBC accumulation followed by reduction in local viscosity is a decrease of the wall shear stress causing a lesser local release of nitric oxide [15]. PubMed:28458720

bp(MESH:"Erythrocyte Aggregation") increases bp(MESH:"Blood Viscosity") View Subject | View Object

Such aggregates are difficult to disperse and they tend to increase the blood viscosity and hydrodynamic resistance in larger blood vessels with low shear, such as the veins in the lower limbs. PubMed:28458720
