Study on hemorheological changes of carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)induced hepatic fibrosis in rat / 药学实践杂志

OBJECTIVE：To study the hemorheological paramenters in rat with hepatic fibrosis. METHODS:Hepatic fibrosis in rat was induced by CCl4 treatment. Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, Hematocrit(Hct) and dynamic parameters of red blood cell(RBC) were investigated. RESULTS:As compared with the normal group, the hemorheological parameters such as whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, Hematocrit(Hct), RBC's aggregation and rigidity were increased obviously. CONCLUSION:High blood vicosity and low RBC's deformation ability can lead to blood circulation obstacle, thus will aggravate hepatic fibrosis.
