hyperviscosity is observed in cases of increased haematocrit ( polycythaemia and relative polycythaemia ) , increased serum proteins and changes in protein balance ( e.g . rise in fibrinogen and immunoglobulins , fall in albumin ) as seen in inflammation and dysglobulinaemia , drop in temperature ( hypothermia ) , increased erythrocyte aggregation ( shock , fat embolism ) or imparied deformability due to various acquired or inherited disorders of red cell membrane or cytoplasma ( e.g . sickle cell anaemia , renal failure , hyperlipoproteinaemias , thrombosis , diabetes ) .
