Cerebral blood flow, haematocrit and viscosity in subjects with a high oxygen affinity haemoglobin variant
Abstract
The cerebral blood flow is low in primary polycythaemia, and it has been suggested that this is due to the increase in viscosity which accompanies the elevated haematocrit. In the present study cerebral blood flow has been measured by a non-invasive 133Xenon technique in six subjects with an elevated haematocrit secondary to a haemoglobin variant with increased oxygen affinity. Flow was significantly higher than normal and 81% higher than in 11...
