Whole Blood Viscosity Profile
This profile evaluates whole blood viscosity at clinically relevant shear rates, providing insight into circulation, oxygen delivery, and overall cardiovascular risk.
Results can help identify contributors to impaired flow (e.g., cell concentration, protein content) and guide targeted interventions for heart, brain, metabolic, and kidney health.
- Viscosity at systolic & diastolic shear
- Includes CBC + kidney markers
- Actionable cardiovascular insights
- Clear clinician report

Why Viscosity Matters
Elevated blood viscosity is associated with reduced microcirculatory flow and increased cardiovascular risk.
Monitoring viscosity helps clinicians optimize oxygen delivery and tissue perfusion as part of preventive care.
Who Might Benefit
- Cardiovascular risk, hypertension, dyslipidemia
- Metabolic syndrome, diabetes, chronic inflammation
- Fatigue, cognitive concerns, wound-healing issues
- Renal concerns or dialysis monitoring (BUN/Cr context)
Preparation
- Standard phlebotomy; follow lab’s collection & transport instructions
- Confirm medication/supplement guidance with your provider
