The quality of blood reflects the state of human health as much as possible. Changing the ratio of white blood cells to red ones can play a cruel joke on a woman's health.
What is "thick blood", symptoms in women, what is the name of this condition?
Blood clotting is a pathological condition that is caused by an imbalance between the liquid part of the blood (plasma) and blood cells (blood cells). In medical practice, this indicator is called hematocrit. In a healthy woman, it ranges from 0.36 - 0.46. In absolute terms, this means that 1 liter of blood should contain from 360 to 460 million cells. For men and children, this figure is slightly higher.
Warning symptoms of a pathological condition are fatigue, a constant blush on the face, cold extremities, pallor, shortness of breath.
Blood clotting among physicians is called "violation of the coagulation and anticoagulation system of the blood." In the development of this condition, white and red blood cells play an important role. An imbalance in the presence of these cells can cause a change in the properties of the blood in the direction of increasing clotting or decreasing it. Thanks to many drugs, as well as studying the mechanism of development of such a condition, it is possible to quickly and almost painlessly get rid of thick blood for the body.
Causes of thick blood in humans
D 
In order to understand how to treat thick blood in women, you need to know the reasons for its appearance. Currently, most of the reasons for this change are known:
- Dehydration of the body. Fluid loss for our body is always a stressful situation. It can occur due to food poisoning, excessively elevated ambient temperature, a banal restriction in the use of water during the day, increased consumption of protein foods and salt, which pull water molecules out of the cells.
- Reducing the volume of circulating blood in the vascular bed. More often, a decrease in the amount of blood leads to hypoxia, which is corrected by the release of blood cells from the depot. Unfortunately, the amount of fluid in the body is limited, so there is a condition in which there are many blood cells and little plasma. This condition can also occur in various infectious diseases due to infectious-toxic shock.
- Diseases that are accompanied by chronic inflammatory processes (chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic arthritis, chronic bronchitis, etc.). In such conditions, there are always a large number of immune response cells in the vascular bed, which can also cause the “thick blood” symptom. More often, such symptoms occur in women during pregnancy, as the volume of circulating blood increases, anemia occurs, and the body releases a lot of blood cells into the bloodstream in a compensatory manner.
- Oncological diseases. Not only malignant blood diseases can cause blood clots. Even a neoplasm of the skin can cause a pathological immune response, which is most often expressed in a change in the characteristics of the blood.
How does thick blood develop, what symptoms occur in women, how to choose a treatment?
A change in the qualitative composition of the blood gradually leads to changes in the body:
- In most cases, an increase in any type of cell in the blood leads to an increase in its viscosity. The blood becomes heavy. A large number of small blood clots are formed in it, which worsen the already poor blood circulation, clog the smallest vessels, preventing normal blood flow in them. Due to such changes, a person feels numbness and coldness on the skin of the extremities, slight swelling occurs, especially in the evening.
- Due to the lack of circulation in the small vessels, the skin becomes dry, the nails brittle, and the hair tends to emaciate and fall out.
- Blood circulation in the capillaries of the internal organs is disturbed. This leads to a deterioration in the digestive function of the intestine, nutrient deficiencies. The result of such a pathology is the depletion of the body, instability to viral and bacterial pathogens.
- The insufficiency of small vessels in the gas exchange apparatus in the lungs leads to oxygen starvation of most cells in our body. The brain cells are especially affected. People with this diagnosis often have absent-mindedness, sleep disturbance, lack of appetite, headaches, nausea, dizziness.
Diagnosis of the symptom of blood clotting is not difficult. It is enough to pass several times within 10 days. Multiple testing will help to reliably determine the parameters of a person’s blood, excluding one-time changes in the blood that may occur due to excitement, malnutrition, eating large amounts of fatty, carbonated foods.
In order to choose an effective and fast method of treatment, it is necessary to determine the main cause of blood density and act directly on it.
Algorithm of action if you suspect a blood clotting:
- Eliminate alcohol and smoking until the circumstances are clarified.
- Increase the amount of plain water that is consumed throughout the day.
Anticipate a possible exacerbation of a chronic disease. The symptoms will be especially clear in women 60 years and older, because by this time the estrogen protection against diseases of the cardiovascular system has dried up. Therefore, there are many symptoms of heart pathology, which, with poor-quality treatment, can cause the “thick blood” symptom. In the case of a chronic disease, it is urgent to seek medical help and conduct a complete examination of the state of the body.
It is important to change your diet. To improve the properties of the blood, it is necessary to limit the consumption of fatty, fried meat, yeast dough and sweets.
Subject to the above rules, all functional (one-time) changes in the blood will go away within 3-4 days, if you do not feel better, you must contact a medical institution. There will be an examination for the presence of diseases:
- Diabetes and diabetes insipidus.
- Pathology of the thyroid gland.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system of chronic and acute course.
- Chronic diseases of the digestive tract.
- Benign and malignant neoplasms.
- Pathology of the musculoskeletal and articular apparatus.
These are the main diseases that can cause an organic change in the qualitative and quantitative properties of blood.
A good treatment that is often used in the medical practice of blood clotting is the use of warfarin. This drug is an innovation of recent years in the fight against blood clotting. Its use is quite dangerous, as it can cause the opposite effect, but if all the recommendations are followed and the properties of the blood are carefully checked every 2-3 months, the effect of warfarin is fully justified before its possible side effects.
Is there a cure for blood clots?
Thick blood causes symptoms in women that make life worse. Reviews about this disease suggest that it is difficult to treat. Therefore, in order to prevent blood clots, it is recommended to use ordinary gymnastics several times a week.
In pregnant women, the risk of developing blood pathology increases, so yoga is strongly recommended for them. It is not necessary to spend a large amount of money on an individual trainer, video lessons are enough.
If there are at least a few signs of blood clotting, you should immediately consult a doctor, because our blood is the most important environment that ensures the viability of the human body. Any change in it indicates the presence of pathology in the body, which can lead to a significant deterioration in health.
Sometimes we underestimate such an indicator of health as blood viscosity. Read more about the state of our blood, about its structure and the causes of thick blood - read on...
The state of the blood is the state of the cardiovascular system. Unfortunately, cardiologists go past hematology, go through the vessels, through the heart, and all the time they are trying to strengthen the heart muscle. Everyone strives to expand the vessels, but in fact a different process is taking place.
What is it - thick blood and what to do with it?
With violations of the quality of blood, primarily with thickening, acidification, increased cholesterol, etc., the main transport function of the blood is hindered, which leads to a violation of redox processes in all organs and tissues, including in the brain, liver , kidneys, etc. Blood quality must be maintained within optimal homeostasis.
A change in the normal consistency of the blood becomes a "trigger" that starts the process of development (or exacerbation of existing ones) of diseases such as atherosclerosis, varicose veins and others.
A separate disease called "thick blood" does not exist, so it would not be correct to unambiguously name the symptoms of "thick blood". These same symptoms can occur with other malfunctions in the body.
Thick blood has increased viscosity - this causes stagnation of blood in the vessels, increases the risk of thrombosis.
Clinical manifestations of thick blood:
High blood pressure;
- drowsiness;
- fatigue;
- general weakness;
- depressive states;
- dry mouth;
- headache;
- distraction;
- constantly cold extremities;
- heaviness in the legs;
- knots in the veins.
This list can be continued, but the process sometimes proceeds in a latent form and is revealed only after blood is taken for analysis.
A comprehensive blood clotting test is called coagulogram. This analysis gives an idea of the general state of hemostasis (shows a complete picture of blood clotting, as well as the integrity of blood vessels).
Causes of thick blood
Why does blood thicken? There are a number of important factors that affect its consistency.
1. Lack of water. Blood is 85%, and blood plasma is 90-92% water. Therefore, a decrease in this indicator by only a few percent leads to thickening of the blood.
2. Intensive water loss occurs not only in summer, but also in winter- dry indoor air "pulls water out of us like a sponge;
3. Athletes- sports are accompanied by the burning of energy, the body increases heat transfer to cool;
4. With some diseases, for example, diabetes.
5. Fermentopathy. A pathological condition in which there is insufficient activity of certain food enzymes or their complete absence. As a result, there is no complete breakdown of food components and incompletely oxidized decay products enter the bloodstream, which leads to its acidification.
6. Improper nutrition. Some food products (legumes, cereals, rice, eggs, etc.) contain heat-stable specific protein inhibitors that form stable complexes with proteinases of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a violation of the digestion and assimilation of food protein. Completely digested amino acid residues enter the bloodstream. Another reason lies in the excessive consumption of carbohydrates, sugar, including fructose.
7. Ecological pollution of products. Suppression of enzymatic activity is facilitated by food contamination with salts of heavy metals, pesticides, insecticides and mycotoxins, which interact with protein molecules, forming stable compounds.
8. Lack of vitamins and minerals. Water-soluble vitamins: C, group B and minerals are necessary for the biosynthesis of most enzymes, so their deficiency (vitamins) leads to incomplete digestion of food due to the lack of necessary enzymes.
9. Strong acids. Strong acids are the end product of the breakdown of animal proteins. If the kidneys cannot cope with the removal of acids, then they remain in the body, acidification of the blood occurs.
10. Damage to blood vessels. A healthy inner wall of blood vessels (intima), which consists of endothelium, has antithrombogenic properties.
11. Dysfunction of the liver. Every day, 15-20 grams of blood proteins are synthesized in the liver, which perform transport, regulatory and other functions, a violation of biosynthesis in the liver leads to changes in the chemical composition of the blood.
12. Hyperfunction of the spleen. Causes the destruction of blood cells.
Blood consists of two parts - formed elements and plasma. Plasma is the liquid part, and the formed elements are blood cells, which, in addition to their main functions, also make the blood thick. When there are more formed elements than plasma, the viscosity of the blood increases, it becomes thick. But, before talking about how to thin the blood, it is worth analyzing in detail what thick blood is.
There is no such thing in medicine. Distinguish viscous blood and increased hematocrit. Blood viscosity is determined by the amount of fibrinogen and the level of prothrombin, although blood viscosity may also increase due to an increase in other indicators, such as cholesterol, hemoglobin, glucose, and so on.
The hematocrit is a general indicator of the ratio of plasma and shaped substances, which ultimately also means increased viscosity or, conversely, blood fluidity.
Is blood clotting dangerous?
Undoubtedly. Blood is not just a fluid in the body that flows through the circulatory system and carries nutrients or decay products, it, together with the nervous system, connects our body into a single whole. Increased blood viscosity means that not all of its cells will be able to perform their function, which means that some tissues will receive less nutrients, some decay products will not be excreted.
In addition, to push through an excessively thick mass, an extremely powerful motor is needed, which in the end will wear out much faster. That is, you need a healthy, strong heart, the rapid deterioration of which does not bode well. And this is not to mention the possible formation of blood clots with all the ensuing consequences.
In the presence of viscous blood, blood from the nose very often flows. Because of which? And this happens because if the blood is viscous, then the body has little oxygen, and because of this, the cells begin to “starve”, respectively, the pressure inside the cells begins to rise. In the case when the blood supply to the arms and hands, legs and feet is disturbed, then reddish spots will appear on the hands and feet, which, if touched, you can feel how cold they are.
What affects blood viscosity
Blood viscosity is affected by damage to blood vessels, distortion of liver function that affects the chemical composition and increases plasma viscosity, negative changes in the condition of the membranes of erythrocytes and platelets, leading to vigorous adhesion of these cells.
The ratio of the cell mass to the liquid part of the blood also affects the viscosity of the blood. Like all indicators of the body, this one should not be high, not low, but normal.
The danger of high blood viscosity is an increased risk of blood clots in the heart and blood vessels.
The cause of the thrombus is viscous blood
Due to problems with the thyroid gland, the stomach malfunctions: bile and pancreatic enzymes enter the duodenum late, when all the food has already moved into the intestines. At this time, in the empty stomach, the pressure drops, and in the intestines, into which the food went, it rises. Due to the difference in pressure, bile and pancreatic enzymes (it is a very powerful alkali in quality) enter the stomach, where hydrochloric acid is contained. Due to the reaction between them, hydrochloric acid is neutralized, which is produced after eating only to dissolve the blood.
If this happens after each meal, then the concentration of chlorine in the blood is not restored and the blood increases its viscosity. This causes the formation of blood clots (thrombophlebitis - lack of chlorine in the blood). With the appearance of thrombophlebitis, viscous blood begins to "glue" small vessels - capillaries, which are most on the limbs: arms, legs, in the head. Blood circulation is disturbed: hands become numb, cold, sweat.
The most serious is the violation of the microcirculation of the vessels of the head, because the head is a microprocessor responsible for all other organs and unconditioned reflexes. As a result, memory deteriorates, fatigue increases, drowsiness and lethargy appear.
Not only the brain itself suffers, but also the eyes. The muscle of the eye is constantly in motion and must receive oxygen in a large volume, which is impossible when small vessels are glued together, so it spasms, resulting in nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. Over time, when large vessels begin to “stick” together, a stroke or heart attack occurs.
Let us consider in more detail what human blood is and its functions, what thick blood is and the reasons that contribute to an increase in blood viscosity.
Human blood is an opaque, red liquid composed of:
Pale yellow blood plasma;
- Formed elements suspended in it: erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), platelets (platelets)
Blood test for viscosity: plasma proteins prothrombin and fibrinogen are not critical.
Blood viscosity is a very important indicator of blood, which determines the maximum life of the heart and blood vessels. The higher the viscosity of the blood, the faster the heart wears out. And by increasing blood pressure, the heart checks the vessels for strength, the resistance of vessels to a heart attack, stroke.
It is traditionally believed that blood viscosity is determined only by plasma proteins prothrombin and fibrinogen. Those. to assess blood viscosity, they are guided by the level of prothrombin, which should be at the lower limit of the normal range of 70-100%, and the amount of fibrinogen should be within 2-4 g / l.
However, an equally important indicator is the erythrocyte sedimentation reaction (ROE) or, as they used to call the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Those. the ability of blood cells to settle, forming plasma above the blood column. The reaction is estimated in 1 hour. The lower the ESR (ROE) - the higher the viscosity of the blood. And many rejoice, receiving ROE (ESR) in the value of 1-3 mm per hour!
And at the same time, blood viscosity is very high and the heart is forced to pump viscous blood with a significant overload!
When a traditional blood viscosity test is performed, it is usually only the prothrombin level and the amount of fibrinogen in the blood that are analyzed - i.e. rely only on a part of the blood components that determine the rheological properties or fluidity of the blood plasma, and not the blood as a whole! Occasionally, ROE (ESR) is also taken into account.
Prothrombin and fibrinogen are the most numerous proteins in blood plasma. And blood plasma represents approximately 50% of the blood volume. And evaluating only these two components, reveal only a part of the factors that determine blood viscosity.
The amount of albumin proteins also affects blood viscosity. Although albumins do not take part in the work of the blood coagulation system, they play an important role - they bind various toxins and contribute to their transfer to the main excretory organs - the liver and kidneys. Those. promote self-cleansing of the body, cleansing the blood of a variety of toxins. The amount of albumin in the blood affects not only blood viscosity, but also the tendency to allergic diseases, the activity of nonspecific immunity.
Effects on blood viscosity of other plasma components
In the blood plasma there are other substances that contribute to the adhesion (agglutination) of red blood cells and determine the viscosity of the blood. These are cholesterol, glucose, and protein digestion products. The level of cholesterol, the content of which in the blood serum depends on the state of the liver. As well as the ability of the pancreas to control blood sugar levels by moving glucose into cells for metabolism. As well as the ability of the liver to process the products of protein digestion and turn them into protein molecules peculiar only to you.
The remaining 50% in the blood is occupied by the actual blood cells - erythrocytes (approximately 99% of the volume of all blood cells), as well as platelets and leukocytes.
The cellular composition of the blood also affects the rheological (fluidity) properties of the blood. In assessing blood viscosity, both the number of erythrocytes is important (it increases in professional athletes, with regular fitness, in the gym, with pathologies of the respiratory system, heart and circulatory system), and the degree of agglutination of erythrocytes and platelet aggregation. Those. the ability of the most numerous blood cells to stick together.
The influence of ecology on blood viscosity
In recent years, the ecological environment of a person has changed significantly, and the amount of natural food products has also decreased. Which largely affected the balance of the antioxidant system of the body and the amount of free radicals that are formed in the body of a modern person. Blood, occupying a strategically important position in the body, connects the system of barrier organs through which, together with the inhaled air, food and drinks, various xenobiotics from the environment enter. And the working area (actually the cell), where during any work the formation of waste products ("slags") and the production of free radicals occur.
Why does blood viscosity change?
Being at the intersection of two powerful streams of toxins (ecology on the one hand and intensity of work on the other), the state of the blood reflects the contribution of each component to the rheological properties of the blood. Rather, the individual characteristics of the human body, the ability to withstand the surrounding ecology.
If the antioxidant potential (the ability to produce and accumulate antioxidants) in your body is high, the blood will be more fluid and such a person is prone to longevity. And the most numerous blood cells in this case, when analyzing a live drop of blood, are located separately.
If the antioxidant potential of the body is low, the most numerous blood cells, erythrocytes, agglutinate with each other, forming bizarre structures resembling coin columns or tiles. Increases blood viscosity and many risks.
An increase or decrease in the number of red blood cells in the tests. ESR
Erythrocytes and their significance in analyzes: a decrease and an increase in the number of erythrocytes in the general blood test and in the analysis and urine. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and its significance.
Erythrocytes (red blood cells, rbc) are the most numerous blood cells that carry oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Red blood cells contain large amounts of the red pigment hemoglobin, which is able to bind oxygen in the lungs and release it in body tissues.
- A decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood is a sign anemia.
- An increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood can be observed with severe dehydration, as well as with erythremia.
- The appearance of red blood cells in the urine can be observed with inflammation of the urinary system(kidneys, bladder).
What are erythrocytes?
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most numerous blood cells. Erythrocytes have the correct disk-shaped form. Along the edges of the erythrocyte is slightly thicker than in the center, and on the cut it looks like a biconcave lens, or dumbbell. This structure of the erythrocyte helps it to be maximally saturated with oxygen and carbon dioxide when passing through the human bloodstream.
The formation of red blood cells occurs in the red bone marrow, under the action of a special kidney hormone - erythropoietin. Mature erythrocytes circulating in the blood do not contain a nucleus and organelles, and cannot synthesize hemoglobin and nucleic acids.
Red blood cells are characterized by a low level of metabolism, which leads to a long lifespan, an average of 120 days. Within 120 days of the release of red blood cells from the red bone marrow into the bloodstream, they gradually wear out. At the end of this period, the "old" erythrocytes are deposited and destroyed in the spleen and liver.
The process of formation of new erythrocytes in the red bone marrow is ongoing, therefore, despite the destruction of old erythrocytes, the total number of erythrocytes in the blood remains constant.
Red blood cells consist mainly (2/3) of hemoglobin, a special protein containing iron, the main function of which is the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Hemoglobin has a red color, which determines the characteristic color of red blood cells and blood.
The main functions of red blood cells- this is the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs, they also perform nutritional and protective functions and maintain the acid-base balance in the blood.
erythrocytes in the blood
The total number of red blood cells in human blood is enormous. For example, in the blood of a person weighing 60 kg, the total number of red blood cells is 25 trillion. If so many erythrocytes are stacked one on top of the other, you get a column more than 60 km high!
However, it is much more convenient and practical to determine not the total number of red blood cells in the human body, but their content in a small volume of blood (for example, in 1 cubic millimeter, μl). The content of red blood cells in 1 cubic mm (µl) is an important indicator that is used in determining the general condition of the patient and in the diagnosis of many diseases.
In healthy people, the normal total content of erythrocytes in one volumetric unit of blood (norm) fluctuates within fairly narrow limits. We also add that the norms of the content of red blood cells depend on the age of the person, his gender, place of residence.
The determination of the number of red blood cells is carried out using a general (clinical) blood test.
The normal number of erythrocytes in the blood in men is from 4 to 5.1 million in 1 µl (from 4 to 5.1x10¹² in 1 l), among women- from 3.7 to 4.7 million per µl (from 3.7 to 4.7x10¹² in 1 l).
RBC count The child has depends on age:
- On the first day of life, in a newborn child - from 4.3 to 7.6x10¹² / l
- In 1 month from 3.8 to 5.6x10¹²/l
- At 6 months - from 3.5 to 4.8x10¹² / l
- At 12 months from 3.6 to 4.9x10¹² / l,
- 1 to 12 years 3.5 to 4.7x10¹² /l
- The content of erythrocytes in the blood of children over 13 years of age corresponds to that of adults and ranges from 3.6 to 5.1x10¹² / l.
The high content of red blood cells in the blood of newborns is explained by the fact that during fetal development, the child's body needs more red blood cells to ensure a normal supply of oxygen to tissues in conditions of relatively low oxygen concentration in the mother's blood. Immediately after birth, a newborn baby's red blood cells begin to break down and are replaced by new red blood cells. The increased breakdown of red blood cells in the first days after birth is the cause of the development of jaundice in newborns.
The level of red blood cells in the blood during pregnancy
The number of erythrocytes during pregnancy can decrease to 3.5 and even 3.0 x10¹² / l, and this is considered by many researchers to be the norm.
The decrease in the number of erythrocytes in the blood during pregnancy (compared to the levels of erythrocytes in the blood of non-pregnant women) is explained, on the one hand, by dilution of the blood due to the retention of water in the body of a pregnant woman, and on the other hand, by a slight decrease in the formation of erythrocytes due to iron deficiency, which is observed in almost all pregnant women.
Changes in the content of red blood cells in the blood and their interpretation
What does an increase in the number of red blood cells mean?
An increase in the number of red blood cells per unit volume of blood is called erythrocytosis. In general, an increase in the content of red blood cells in the blood is observed quite rarely.
Physiological increase in erythrocytes in the blood occurs in people living in the mountains, with prolonged physical exertion in athletes, with stress, or with significant dehydration.
A pathological increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood occurs when:
- Increased production of red blood cells in the red bone marrow (with blood diseases such as erythremia); In patients with erythremia, a bright red color of the skin of the face and neck can usually be seen.
- As a result of increased synthesis of erythropoietin in the kidneys with insufficient oxygen in the blood in diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems (for example, in patients with heart failure or COPD). In such cases, the increase in the number of red blood cells is preceded by a long history of heart or lung disease.
Decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood
The decrease in the number of red blood cells per unit volume of blood is called erythropenia.
The main reason for the decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood are various types of anemia.(anemia), which can develop as a result of a violation of the formation of red blood cells in the red bone marrow, as a result of their increased destruction of red blood cells, for example, with hemolytic anemia, as well as with blood loss.

Most often observed Iron-deficiency anemia in which insufficient formation of red blood cells occurs with iron deficiency due to its insufficient intake with food (vegetarian diet), malabsorption or an increase in the body's need for iron (often during pregnancy, in children during periods of intensive growth).
Against the background of iron deficiency anemia, not only a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood is observed, but other symptoms of this disease can also be noticed.
Less often, a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood occurs with a lack of vitamin B12 or folic acid. In such cases, in addition to anemia, patients have gait and sensitivity disorders (tingling and pain in the arms and legs).
Increased destruction of red blood cells, or hemolysis, as a reason for a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood, it occurs in hereditary diseases as a result of a violation of the structure of the erythrocyte membrane (microspherocytosis, ovalocytosis), hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia, sickle cell anemia); acquired causes of hemolysis - Marchiafava-Micheli disease, mechanical damage to the erythrocyte membrane (artificial heart valve, giant spleen in patients with cirrhosis), toxic damage to the erythrocyte membrane (poisonous mushrooms, snake bite, salts of heavy metals).
A decrease in the number of red blood cells also occurs with acute massive blood loss.(as a result of bleeding during injuries, operations, stomach ulcers), chronic blood loss leads to iron deficiency anemia.
The determination of the number of red blood cells in the blood is carried out during a general (clinical) blood test.
Nutrition with increased blood viscosity
Blood thinning is promoted by diet and a special drinking regimen. You should drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day. The most useful are green tea or herbal teas (on the recommendation of the attending physician), natural vegetable and fruit juices, water. It is especially recommended to drink natural juice from red grapes. Due to the high content of bioflavonoids, it is considered a balm for the cardiovascular system.
An additional source of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids is linseed oil, which can be taken in 1 tbsp. spoon a day. Prostaglandins synthesized from these acids reduce cholesterol levels and thin the blood.
Another important source of fat is unrefined extra virgin olive oil containing a large number of biologically active substances.
How to determine (thinn) blood viscosity at home
We in Russia have an effective remedy: meadowsweet. Take 1 teaspoon, pour a glass of boiling water, infuse for 5 minutes. Drink half a glass 3-4 times a day before meals. Tavologa helps to improve cerebral circulation. This is Viktor Kosterov's recipe. He also suggests to use for blood thinning sweet clover (yellow). Take 1 teaspoon per 200 ml. boiling water, leave for 10 minutes and drink 100 ml 3-4 times a day before meals.
A person himself at home can determine whether his blood is thick or not by the following method: put on medical gloves, wipe everything with alcohol, release the 4th finger, process it with alcohol as well, pierce with a disposable sterile needle, the one used when taking blood tests. We take 2 drops of blood on the glass. Spread a thin layer on the glass. Blood tends to form a film after a while. We look at the blood on the glass every 30 seconds. If this film formed after 5 minutes, then it is normal. If up to 5 minutes, then clotting is increased.
The fastest way to purify the blood: suck each morning in your mouth 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the state of a white transparent liquid, then spit it out, in no case swallow it. Removes toxins accumulated in the body overnight. And so every day. It can be up to six months or longer.
It is necessary to purify the blood twice a year, in spring and autumn. To do this, take 2 cups of honey, add 1 cup of dill + 2 liters of hot water, valerian roots 1 tablespoon, put in a thermos for a day. We filter. We put in the refrigerator, drink 1 tablespoon three times a day until the end of the composition.
It must be remembered that our blood is what we eat, if the food is bad, then the blood is not good.
There is a faster way to purify blood: melt water is drunk during the day, and in the evening you need to drink 1 liter of whey.
You need to choose a diet that would contribute to blood thinning. Vegetables, fruits, vegetable fats. Think over a set of food so that it provides the daily need for vitamins of all groups, minerals. For proper and complete assimilation of food, take combined food. People say: "horseradish and radish, onions and cabbage - dashing will not be allowed." And the simpler our meal, the better for the body.
If you want to be healthy, be ascetic, including in food. To normalize the composition of the blood you need to eat zucchini, eggplant.
Salad to take several times a week: Grate celery and apple, cut lettuce leaves, grind 2 cloves of garlic, season with olive oil, a little honey, lemon. We eat without salt. It greatly improves the composition of the blood.
Eat a clove or two of garlic every day.
An important role in the body is associated with the acidity of the body.
For instance:
- if pH 7.35–7.45 is the norm, the blood has a slightly alkaline reaction;
- if the pH is less than 7.35 - there is an increased acidity of the body. You can start taking soda;
- if the pH is less than 7.25, the acidity is greatly increased;
- if the pH is less than 6.8 - there is the most severe form of acid-base imbalance. Very serious health problems are possible. published .

Most people do not often think about what kind of blood flows in their veins and arteries. Nevertheless, the concept of "thick blood" is present in medical practice. It stands for increasing the level of viscosity, and can be found in both men and women. But it is in the representatives of the stronger sex that such a pathology is more common, and can lead to serious physiological consequences.
In contact with
The level of sugar can rise, cholesterol rises, the nutrition of internal organs is disrupted. The consequences of an increase in blood viscosity can even cause death, since the main task of the bloodstream is the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to various organs and systems.
Thick blood can cause many diseases
Causes
Among the factors provoking growth hematocritical factor, includes:
- smoking and drinking alcohol;
- shock conditions;
- taking certain medications;
- the presence of foci of inflammatory processes, leading to the loss of plasma;
- kidney diseases and leading to their appearance, and others
Changes in viscosity level give rise to various underlying diagnoses. To understand how much thick blood is, and also what it threatens, you will need to thorough diagnosis.
Important! The results of analyzes in which the indicator does not correspond to the norm (from 1046 to 1088) are the reason for going to the doctor.
In this case, any concerns require consultation with the attending physician. The parameters differ depending on the history and age of the patient.
Let us consider in more detail what thick blood is, causes and treatment in men.
A blood test will help determine its density.
Blood viscosity parameters
You can assess the global nature of the situation on your own by evaluating your own analysis results. Normal blood viscosity in humans is:
- the erythrocyte count in the blood should vary from 3.9 to 5.1;
- the volume of fibrinogen and the amount of prothrombins fluctuate at the level of 2-4 g/l
- blood viscosity readings obtained using a special device that drives this substance through distilled water varies in men in the range of 4.3-5.4.
This indicator directly depends on the number of red blood cells. A change in the level in any direction is a negative factor requiring a visit to a doctor.
In some cases, the rate drops. Such a process shows problems with a lack of protein in the blood, anemia, kidney dysfunction. It is lowered by long-term therapy using heparin or aspirin. Such a violation can lead to diseases, a decrease in the level of coagulation, bleeding that is difficult to stop.
In unique cases, the child is born with an increased rate. But for the most part, changes in the level of viscosity are directly related to provoking factors. Including:
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which are based on food poisoning;
- hypoxia caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide;
- macroglobulinemia Waldenström;
- vein diseases;
- diabetes;
- adrenal dysfunction;
- thermal burns;
- hepatitis.
You can name other diseases, which makes the patient be sure to find out why the blood is thick, and what it threatens. The reasons may not be so global. For example, a diet with limited fluid intake or simply severe dietary restrictions. Changes can be caused by stress and depression.
In any situation, it is important to find out what the blood density test is called and where it can be taken for transmission for decoding and developing a course of treatment for a specialist.
When applying, the specialist will send make a coagulogram, allowing to obtain a full range of data necessary for the assessment of viscosity.
Symptoms
Often these patients have impaired nutrition of the extremities. This is shown by constantly remaining cold hands and feet. Often there is an unpleasant feeling of heaviness in the legs.
There are many reasons for the appearance of unpleasant symptoms. But in any case, it is recommended to conduct research.
Often negative indicators are detected during a routine medical examination. Given the increased risk of increased viscosity with age, it is advisable to take tests for men over 40 years of age. at least once a year.
Survey
Determining what to do if a person has thick blood, a detailed analysis of the state of health will be required. Most often it is enough to pass regular dispensaries.
The potential increase in the risk of thrombosis is a great danger to the health of a man. In the absence of adequate and timely treatment, it can affect ischemic or a heart attack. It may also form:
- intracerebral hemorrhages;
- atherosclerosis;
- hypertonic disease.
In rare situations, the symptoms of thick blood become directly a disease. But most often, the factors affecting blood viscosity are formed under the influence of external factors. To determine a clear clinical picture, it will be necessary to conduct the following studies:
- coagulogram;
- hematocrit;
- general analysis;
- APTT.
The totality of the data obtained will allow us to determine the best treatment option.
ECG measurement
Treatment
The simplest first step for each potential patient is to normalize the diet and lifestyle. Including costs immediately increase the amount of liquid in the diet. It is desirable that it be plain clean water. Even a healthy person needs to drink two to three liters per day to provide all systems with it. Moreover, in this situation we are talking about water, and not about tea, coffee or other liquids. A simple change in drinking habits in most situations helps to reduce and bring the viscosity to normal.
Among the reasons for the thickening, experts also indicate deficiency of substances:
- proteins;
- amino acids;
- fatty acids.
- seaweed;
- chicken eggs;
- lean meats;
- fish;
- milk;
- linseed and olive oil.
If you stick to such a diet all the time, you can never know what blood viscosity is all your life. Active sports play a big role. You don't have to sign up for a gym.
For a modern person, most of whose life passes in a static state, it is sometimes quite simple regular walk for 1-2 hours at least 2-3 times a week. This approach to your health will strengthen all body systems.
In case of serious problems, a specialist will recommend how to treat thick viscous blood. can be used to improve the condition specialized drugs. Including ascorbic acid, heparin, magnecard, thrombo ACC, lospirin. A wide range of specialized medicines is on sale. But resorting to self-treatment, given the danger of consequences, is not worth it. The course of therapy is prescribed by the attending physician after diagnostic studies.
Determination of viscosity at home
Before contacting a doctor or in the absence of such an opportunity in the near future, it is worth learning how to determine blood viscosity in normal home conditions.
Get accurate readings at home will not work, but the symptomatology itself suggests the presence of a problem. Given the ability to reduce the risks on your own without medication, you can not only find out why thick blood. The causes and treatment of folk remedies are shown to almost everyone.
- A decoction of dry or fresh red clover inflorescences. To obtain a decoction, the plants are poured with boiling water and taken 50 g three times a day.
- Blood clotting is inhibited by yellow sweet clover containing a high number of coumarins. A decoction made from herbs in the flowering stage.
- Hawthorn, which is convenient to use as alcohol tincture.
- For medicinal purposes, the bark of the willow can be used.
In addition to infusions and decoctions, courses are recommended for people suffering from increased viscosity. In this case, ordinary and common medicinal leeches will help normalize the indicators. The course is conducted in a hospital setting.
Attention! An alternative or additional option is the use of bees in the treatment.
The use of this method is required to be tried under the supervision of a specialist to exclude allergic reactions. Other bee products are also used in the treatment. All of them contain the necessary anticoagulant.
Thick blood causes and treatment
The disease is easily treatable if detected in time, follow a diet and take medications prescribed by a doctor. Since the disease is more common in men, the representatives of the stronger sex should regularly undergo a medical examination and pay attention to blood counts. In old age, for the prevention of the disease, it is recommended to use folk recipes.
In contact with
Thick blood is the popular name for the phenomenon of increased blood viscosity. The main danger of pathology is an increased risk of thrombosis of large and small vessels and veins, and with late detection, the condition is fraught with rupture of these vessels.
What is thick blood and what is the norm for viscosity
Blood has two components: these are formed elements that regulate the density of blood, and plasma is a liquid component. The level of viscosity is characterized by an increase in the number of erythrocytes, prothrombin, fibrogen and other formed elements.
An increase in blood viscosity is also called hyperviscosity syndrome.
The norm of viscosity and hematocrit (the ratio of the amount of plasma to the number of formed elements) may vary depending on age and gender, the norm of hematocrit in men is 40-54%, in women - 37-47% (this is due to the physiology of the female body).
The very same blood viscosity (whole), depending on the concentration of the main formed elements, ranges from 4.0 to 5.5 (in relation to plasma, the indicator of which is taken as 1).
In pregnant women, the blood in the normal state is more liquid than in ordinary women.
In children, especially newborns, these norms differ sharply and are individual (determined by age, weight and general health). Blood viscosity is determined through analysis with a viscometer.
Symptoms
The symptomatic picture directly depends on the disease that caused the symptom. Symptoms may be short-term or chronic. So how does the body behave when the blood is thick? Are the symptoms different for women than for men? - No. Usually, pathology in both sexes is accompanied by such signs:
Often hyperviscosity syndrome may occur without significant symptoms. It can only be detected through laboratory tests.
Causes and treatment of thick blood in men and women
If the symptom of thick blood is observed for a long time, this can be a consequence of dangerous conditions: atherosclerosis, hypertension, bleeding, subdural and intracerebral bleeding.
The most dangerous pathology is the occurrence blood clot in the vessel and its further rupture due to pressurization. Often such cases lead to sudden death.
Too thick blood can appear due to certain diseases and conditions. Hyperviscose syndrome often appears when:
If any of the listed diagnoses is made, then all medical interventions are directed not only to blood thinning. Maximum efforts are made to treat the disease that caused the syndrome. Therefore, treatment is carried out in a complex manner.
Treatment
How to treat thick blood? There is no specific medical treatment plan. To avoid and prevent blood thickening, atherosclerosis, cardiac ischemia, the patient can use aspirin or means containing it (magnecard, cardiomagnyl). They produce an antiaggregatory effect, that is, they thin the blood and are also a good prevention of a heart attack.
The causes of blood clots are many, as are the treatments for this condition. All therapeutic measures are aimed at eliminating exactly the cause of the symptom, so most often doctors carry out:
- correction of metabolic processes;
- treatment of microtumors in hematopoietic tissues;
- carry out procedures for resorption of blood clots, prescribe drugs that thin blood clots and conduct therapy to prevent thrombosis.
All procedures are carried out under medical supervision. The patient is under inpatient treatment.
Medical treatment
Medicines are also prescribed. Such complex therapy includes antigregants:
Also, patients may experience increased blood clotting. Such people are prescribed anticoagulants:
- warfarin
- Heparin;
- Fragmin.
The drug is selected for each patient individually. With thick blood, all possible contraindications to the use of the drug in each patient must be taken into account. The action of an incorrectly selected drug can only aggravate the clinical picture.
Patients suffering from Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, multiple myeloma and other monoclonal gammopathy, anticoagulants are categorically contraindicated.
If the patient has increased blood viscosity and an increased predisposition to bleeding, he is prescribed a number of procedures. These include:
Therapeutic activities are most often carried out in the complex. The duration of treatment is determined by a specialist after a detailed examination.
Power adjustment
Often the blood begins to thicken and becomes dark due to improper and unbalanced nutrition. It always becomes thicker if the patient's diet is poor in amino acids, proteins and saturated fatty acids.
Some foods in the food system must be constantly in order for the blood to be maintained in the right consistency, others need adjustments and additional blood thinning. Blood thinning products:
- sea fish;
- seaweed;
- lean meats (beef and poultry);
- eggs;
- olive oil;
- milk products;
- linseed oil;
- different vegetables and fruits.
With a pathology of increased viscosity, a person constantly needs to monitor his vitamin balance. Negatively affects the consistency of the blood lack vitamin E. Therefore, in your diet it is also worth including products that contain tocopherols and tocotrienols- green leafy vegetables, broccoli, butter, legumes.
Pay attention to products containing vitamins K and C. They increase the viscosity of the blood, they must be consumed clearly within the daily norm. These include:
There is no need to completely eliminate these foods from the diet. But their use must be treated responsibly and not overeat them until the pulse is lost.
Drinking regime
The lack of moisture in the body on the viscosity of the blood is reflected immediately. It is dehydration that is often the cause of hyperviscose syndrome. To avoid it, you need to consume your daily norm of water. It is 30 ml. per 1 kg. weight.
Everyone knows that the prevention of pathologies of the cardiovascular system can prevent many dangerous diseases, but they pay little attention to such an important point as blood viscosity indicators. But absolutely all the processes occurring in the cells and organs of our body depend on the state of this vital environment. Its main function is to transport respiratory gases, hormones, nutrients and many other substances. When the properties of the blood change, which consist in its thickening, acidification or an increase in the level of sugar and cholesterol, the transport function is significantly impaired and the redox processes in the heart, blood vessels, brain, liver and other organs proceed abnormally.
That is why preventive measures to prevent diseases of the heart and blood vessels must necessarily include regular monitoring of blood viscosity. In this article, we will introduce you to the causes of thick blood (hyperviscosity syndrome, or hyperviscosity syndrome), symptoms, complications, methods of diagnosis and treatment. This knowledge will help you prevent not only many diseases of the cardiovascular system, but also their dangerous complications.
Blood consists of plasma (liquid part) and formed elements (blood cells), which determine its density. The hematocrit level (hematocrit number) is determined by the ratio between these two blood media. Blood viscosity increases with an increase in the level of prothrombin and fibrinogen, but can also be provoked by an increase in the level of red blood cells and other blood cells, hemoglobin, glucose and cholesterol. That is, with thick blood, the hematocrit becomes higher.
Such a change in the blood formula is called the syndrome of increased blood viscosity, or hyperviscosity syndrome. There are no single indicators of the norm of the above parameters, since they change with age.
An increase in blood viscosity leads to the fact that some blood cells cannot fully perform their functions, and some organs stop receiving the substances they need and cannot get rid of decay products. In addition, thick blood is pushed through the vessels worse, prone to the formation of blood clots, and the heart has to make great efforts to pump it. As a result, it wears out faster, and a person develops his pathologies.
You can detect increased blood density with the help of a general blood test, which will show an increase in hematocrit caused by an increase in the level of formed elements and hemoglobin. Such an analysis result will certainly alert the doctor, and he will take the necessary measures to identify the cause and treat the syndrome of increased blood viscosity. Such timely measures can prevent the development of a whole bunch of diseases.
Why does blood become thick?
Blood is the basis of the life of the body, all the processes occurring inside it depend on its viscosity and composition. The viscosity of human blood is regulated by a number of factors. The most common predisposing factors for the development of hyperviscosity syndrome are:
- increased blood clotting;
- an increase in the number of red blood cells;
- an increase in the number of platelets;
- increased hemoglobin levels;
- dehydration;
- poor absorption of water in the large intestine;
- massive blood loss;
- acidification of the body;
- hyperfunction of the spleen;
- enzyme deficiency;
- lack of vitamins and minerals that are involved in the synthesis of hormones and enzymes;
- exposure;
- large amounts of sugar and carbohydrates consumed.
Usually, increased blood viscosity is caused by one of the above disorders, but in some cases, the composition of the blood changes under the influence of a whole range of factors.
The causes of such violations are such diseases and pathologies:
- food poisoning and diseases accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting;
- hypoxia;
- some forms of leukemia;
- antiphospholipid syndrome;
- polycythemia;
- diabetes and diabetes insipidus;
- diseases accompanied by an increase in the level of protein in the blood (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, etc.);
- myeloma, AL-amyloidosis and other monoclonal
gammopathy; - thrombophilia;
- adrenal insufficiency;
- hepatitis;
- cirrhosis of the liver;
- pancreatitis;
- thermal burns;
- pregnancy.
Symptoms
Thick blood impedes blood flow and contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Symptoms of hyperviscosity syndrome largely depend on the clinical manifestations of the disease with which it was caused. Sometimes they are temporary and disappear on their own after the elimination of the causes that provoked them (for example, dehydration or hypoxia).
The main clinical signs of thick blood are the following symptoms:
- dry mouth;
- fast fatiguability;
- frequent drowsiness;
- distraction;
- severe weakness;
- depressive state;
- arterial hypertension;
- headache;
- heaviness in the legs;
- constantly cold feet and hands;
- numbness and tingling in areas with impaired blood microcirculation;
- nodules in the veins.
In some cases, hyperviscosity syndrome is hidden (asymptomatic) and is detected only after evaluating the results of a blood test.
Complications
The syndrome of increased blood viscosity is not a disease, but in the presence of serious pathologies, it can cause severe and formidable complications. More often the blood thickens in the elderly, but in recent years this syndrome has been increasingly detected in middle-aged and young people. According to statistics, thick blood is more common in men.
The most dangerous consequences of the syndrome of increased blood viscosity are the tendency to thrombosis and thrombosis. Usually, small-caliber vessels are thrombosed, but there is an increased risk that the thrombus will block the coronary artery or cerebral vessel. Such thromboses cause acute necrosis of the tissues of the affected organ, and the patient develops or ischemic stroke.
Other consequences of thick blood can be such diseases and pathological conditions:
- bleeding;
- intracerebral and subdural bleeding.
The degree of risk of complications of the syndrome of increased blood viscosity largely depends on the underlying cause of its development. That is why the main goal of treating this condition and preventing its complications is to eliminate the underlying disease.
Diagnostics
To identify the syndrome of increased blood viscosity, the following laboratory tests are prescribed:
- Complete blood count and hematocrit. Allows you to set the number of blood cells, hemoglobin level and their ratio with the total blood volume.
- Coagulogram. Gives an idea of the state of the hemostasis system, blood clotting, duration of bleeding and vascular integrity.
- APTT. Allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal and general coagulation pathway. It is aimed at determining the level of plasma factors, inhibitors and anticoagulants in the blood.
Medical treatment
The main goal of treating hyperviscosity syndrome is aimed at treating the underlying disease that caused the blood density. The complex scheme of drug therapy includes:
With increased blood clotting, the complex of drug treatment may include:
- Heparin;
- Warfarin;
- Fragmin and others.
Preparations for blood thinning are selected individually for each patient and only after the exclusion of contraindications to their use. For example, in multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and other monoclonal gammopathy, anticoagulants are absolutely contraindicated.
With a syndrome of increased blood viscosity, which is accompanied by a tendency to bleeding, the following are prescribed:
- plasmapheresis;
- platelet transfusion;
- symptomatic therapy.
Diet
Blood density can be adjusted by following certain nutritional rules. Scientists have noted that the blood becomes thicker if the daily diet includes an insufficient amount of amino acids, proteins and unsaturated fatty acids. That is why the following foods should be included in the diet of a person with thick blood:
- lean meats;
- sea fish;
- eggs;
- seaweed;
- milk products;
- olive oil;
- linseed oil.
To correct the composition of the blood, products that promote blood thinning can help:
- ginger;
- cinnamon;
- celery;
- artichoke;
- garlic;
- beet;
- cucumbers;
- tomatoes;
- sunflower seeds;
- cashew nuts;
- almond;
- bitter chocolate;
- cocoa;
- dark grapes;
- red and white currants;
- Cherry;
- Strawberry;
- citrus;
- figs;
- peaches;
- apples, etc.
With increased blood viscosity, the patient needs to monitor the vitamin balance. This recommendation applies to foods that contain a large amount of vitamin C and K. An excess of them contributes to an increase in blood viscosity, and therefore their intake into the body should correspond to the daily norm. The lack of vitamin E also negatively affects the composition of the blood, and therefore nutritional supplements or foods that are rich in tocopherols and tocotrienols (broccoli, green leafy vegetables, legumes, butter, almonds, etc.) must be included in the diet.
From the products described above, you can make a varied menu. Each person who is faced with the problem of thick blood will be able to include tasty and healthy dishes in their diet.
There is also a list of products that increase blood viscosity. These include:
- salt;
- fatty meats;
- Salo;
- butter;
- cream;
- buckwheat;
- legumes;
- liver;
- kidneys;
- liver;
- brain;
- Red pepper;
- radish;
- watercress;
- turnip;
- red cabbage;
- radish;
- purple berries;
- bananas;
- mango;
- walnuts;
- light grapes;
- Garnet;
- basil;
- Dill;
- parsley;
- White bread.
These foods can not be completely excluded from the diet, but simply limit their consumption.
Drinking regime
Much is known about the dangers of dehydration. The lack of water affects not only the functioning of organs and systems, but also the viscosity of the blood. It is dehydration that often causes the development of the syndrome of increased blood viscosity. To prevent it, it is recommended to drink at least 30 ml of pure water per 1 kg of weight daily. If for some reason a person does not drink plain water, but replaces it with tea, juices or compotes, then the volume of fluid consumed should be higher.
Bad habits and drugs
Smoking and drinking alcohol contributes to a significant thickening of the blood. That is why people with thick blood are advised to give up these bad habits. If a person cannot cope with these addictions on his own, then he is recommended to use one of the methods for treating nicotine addiction or alcoholism.
Negatively affects the composition of the blood and long-term use of certain medications. These include:
- diuretics;
- hormonal drugs;
- oral contraceptives;
- Viagra.
Hirudotherapy
Hirudotherapy is one of the most effective ways to thin thick blood. The composition of the saliva of leeches, which they inject into the blood after sucking, includes hirudin and other enzymes that help thin the blood and prevent the formation of blood clots. This method of treatment can be prescribed after the exclusion of some contraindications:
- thrombocytopenia;
- hemophilia;
- severe hypotension;
- cachexia;
- severe forms of anemia;
- malignant tumors;
- hemorrhagic diathesis;
- pregnancy;
- caesarean section performed three to four months ago;
- children's age up to 7 years;
- individual intolerance.
Folk methods
Thick blood syndrome can be treated with folk recipes based on the properties of medicinal plants. Before using such methods of herbal medicine, it is recommended to consult a doctor and make sure that there are no contraindications.
To thin thick blood, the following folk recipes can be used:
- tincture of meadowsweet (or lobasnik);
- phytocollection of equal parts of yellow sweet clover, meadow clover flowers, meadowsweet grass, valerian roots, lemon balm, narrow-leaved fireweed and hawthorn fruits;
- infusion of willow bark;
- infusion of horse chestnut flowers;
- nettle infusion;
- tincture of nutmeg.
Thick blood negatively affects the state of the cardiovascular and other body systems. In some cases, an increase in its viscosity can be eliminated on its own, but more often such a violation of its condition is caused by various diseases and pathologies. That is why the detection of hyperviscosity syndrome should never be ignored. Treating the underlying disease that caused the blood clots and including blood thinning methods in your main treatment plan will help you get rid of the development and progression of many severe complications. Remember this and be healthy!
