What is Viscosity, Serum?

This test measures the thickness or stickiness of your blood serum. It helps assess how easily blood flows through your vessels, which can impact overall circulation and organ function.

Why is this test important?

Elevated serum viscosity can be a sign of certain blood disorders, inflammatory conditions, or autoimmune diseases. Monitoring viscosity is crucial for managing conditions like Waldenström's macroglobulinemia or multiple myeloma, where thick blood can lead to serious complications.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
