Using the method of nonstationary rheometry, the changes 
occurring in the rheological properties of the blood of rheumatological 
patients in plasmapheresis in the range of rates of shear of 
1-10 sec-1 at a temperature of 37oC were studied. 
These studies were paralleled by measurements of the hematocrit index 
to correct the viscosity of the blood. A statistically reliable 
mathematical dependence of the change in the rheological properties 
of blood in plasmapheresis has been constructed. The role of the 
rheological factor of blood as a possible additional diagnostic 
parameter in plasmapheresis has been evaluated.
