Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The rheology of the blood as description of the flow characteristics approves conclusions to the perfusion of the different tissues. Many pathological processes influence the rheological qualities of the blood or the characteristics of the vessels, especially the capillaries. In both cases the perfusion of the tissue can be to a great extent disturbed. The rheological qualities of the blood can be ameliorated in different ways. Rheohaemapheresis is a very effective and save method to reduce high molecular plasma proteins. In the last decades in the meantime rheohaemapheresis was very successfully applied to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL), diabetic complications, coronary heart disease, small vessel disease, uveal effusion syndrome, central vein thrombosis of the eye and all other disorders of the microcirculatory system.
