In both groups hematocrit, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte filtrability, aggregation, aggregating proteins, leukocyte and thrombocyte count, differentiation of leukocytes, thrombelastography, PTT, Quick test, and rheological profiles were comparable. The differences were not significant (P>0.05). These results refute the hypothesis that changed flow properties of blood are the primary cause of the pathogenesis of ARMD with SRNV.
