Patient's question:
My cousin's son had a fever last night and was admitted to the hospital today. The hospital's blood test results said his blood concentration is high. Could you please ask the doctor what this situation is? Generally, what kind of illness can cause high blood concentration?Doctor's answer:
High blood concentration is medically referred to as hyperviscosity. The main factors affecting blood viscosity include:Hemocytic factors, such as the quantity, size, and shape of blood cells, red blood cell deformability, and platelet function.
Plasma factors, such as plasma proteins (especially fibrinogen and immunoglobulins), blood sugar, blood lipids, and fibrinolytic activity.
Vascular factors, such as vessel length, diameter, and the smoothness of the intima.
Choose foods that can thin the blood: These foods include those that inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombus formation, such as hawthorn, black fungus, garlic, onions, green onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, strawberries, pineapples, and lemons.
Based on the test results, take effective protective measures to reduce the occurrence of thrombotic diseases.
