Question

viscosity of blood having ​

Answer 1

Answer:

At a normal hematocrit of 40%, the relative viscosity of blood is about 4. Patients with an abnormal elevation in red cell hematocrit (polycythemia) have much higher blood viscosities. In fact, increasing the hematocrit from 40 to 60% (a 50% increase) increases the relative viscosity from 4 to 8 (a 100% increase).
