| Abstract: | In this study of three normal females and 30 receiving oral contraception (oc) no association was established between plasma viscosity (PV), whole blood viscosity (WBV), corrected for a 451% packed cell volume (PCV), red cell filterability and levels of plasma oestrogen and progesterone levels. In oc users a transient rise in both plasma and whole blood viscosity was recorded after one month with reversal by three months and stabilisation thereafter. |
