Thick Blood

Thick Blood is a condition in which the blood is abnormally thick and viscous. This can be caused by a variety of different conditions, such as dehydration, certain medications, and some diseases. Thick blood can cause a variety of medical issues, including an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and blood clots. It can also make it harder for the blood to flow through the body, leading to a decrease in oxygen delivery and an increased risk of infection. Thick blood can be diagnosed through a blood test, which measures the viscosity of the blood. Treatment for the condition will depend on the underlying cause, but may include lifestyle changes, medications, or other treatments to thin the blood.
