2. Erythrocyte deformability - Wikipedia

   For instance, anemia (low red blood cell concentration) reduces viscosity, whereas increased red blood cell concentration increases viscosity. It had been thought that aspirin and related " blood thinner " drugs decreased the viscosity of blood, but instead studies found that they act by reducing the tendency of the blood to clot.
