Abstract

In people with rheumatoid arthritis with systemic manifestations were found significant changes in hemorheological profile, including increasing the viscosity of whole blood, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation and deformability. This was combined with reduced transport capacity of blood. A single infusion of pentoxifylline (100 mg) was accompanied by a positive shift of the rheological characteristics of blood, including red blood cell deformability and aggregation.
