New guidelines for hemorheological laboratory techniques

• This document, supported by both the International Society for Clinical Hemorheology and the European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, proposes new guidelines for hemorheological methods used in experimental and clinical studies. It is based on a similar document entitled: "Guidelines for measurement of blood viscosity and erythrocyte deformability" published in 1986 by the Expert Panel on Blood Rheology of the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology. Recent methods techniques and instruments, as well as new approaches to interpretation of results, are added to these new guidelines; wide spread adoption should improve comparability between hemorheological laboratories and increase the reliability of rheological tests.
