Blood rheology was examined in 163 patients with gastric cancer. The 4th stage of the disease was detected in 51 of them. The following changes of blood rheology were found: changes of a blood and plasma viscosity and red blood cells hyperaggregation. These changes lead to hypo- and dysproteinaemia, erythron system disorders, endogenous intoxication, hemostasis disorders which correlated in severity with the disease stage. These patients need correction of rheological disorders.
