Hemorheology in thyroid abnormalities: old team player, new insights
Abstract
Thyroid dysfunctions significantly impact various physiological processes, extending their influence on hemorheological properties and microcirculation. This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between thyroid disorders and hemorheology, emphasizing the substantial effects on blood flow dynamics and tissue perfusion. Examining the alterations in blood viscosity, erythrocyte behavior, and microvascular circulation in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism reveals crucial insights into the pathophysiology of these conditions. Furthermore, elucidating the hemorheological changes associated with thyroid dysfunctions offers potential avenues for improved clinical management strategies. This review synthesizes current research findings, highlighting the importance of considering hemorheological aspects in understanding the complexities of thyroid-related complications and advancing patient care paradigms.

Keywords : Hemorheology, thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, erythrocyte deformability, erythrocyte aggregation, blood viscosity, plasma viscosity
