[Examination of the differential hematocrit and the plasma viscosity under the influence of ionizing radiation].

Abstract

Systematic investigations into the impact of haemorheological parameters through ionizing rays are not available in literature. The main factors influencing the flow capacity of the blood were determined in vitro by using a set of special methods. Even by using high dosages of irradiation (600 R) only those changes in the flow capacity of the blood could be identified which lay in or near the dispersion area of the methods. These investigations carried out in vitro only take into account the immediate effect of the blood and not rheological changes caused by the intact organism after irradiation.
