Abstract
This invention involves a method of analyzing a body fluid such as blood from a patient to determine whether or not there is a significant difference or change in the comparative determinants of viscosity in the body fluid sample, the comparative determinants being derived using a probe which provides increased sensitivity and corresponding improved relative viscosity values when used together with a suitable viscosity device, in order to identify the presence or incipiency of a symptomatic or asymptomatic pathology caused by or leading to said differences or changes in viscosity.
