Increased plasma viscosity as a reason for inappropriate erythropoietin formation [PDF]
, 1993 The aim of this study was to examine whether altered plasma viscosity could contribute to the inappropriately low production rate of erythropoietin (EPO) observed in patients suffering from hypergammaglobulinemias associated with multiple myeloma or ...
