COVID-19 Demonstrates That Inflammation Is a Hyperviscous State "complications of COVID-19 are caused by blood hyperviscosity driven by marked hyperfibrinogenemia. This results in a distinctive hyperviscosity syndrome...A change in blood viscosity causes a threefold inverse change in blood flow..."
