Abstract: Linking between blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation is interpreted as resulting of structural changes of red blood cell aggregates and their clusters, in the absence of blood flow. Limits of applying such an interpretation is discussed with the help of few examples.

Keywords: Erythrocyte aggregation, blood viscosity
