Hyperviscosity syndrome is an increase in the viscosityof the blood. This may be caused by an increase in serumproteinsand may be associated with bleeding from mucous membranes, retinopathy, and neurological symptoms. Hyperviscosity syndrome is sometimes seen in Waldenström macroglobulinemiaand in multiple myeloma. An increased viscosity secondary to polycythemiamay be associated with organ congestionand decreased capillaryperfusion.
