Viscosity, Serum:
Fasting Required: No
Lab: Quest Diagnostics
Specimen: Blood
Results: Average processing time 5-7 days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Description: High serum viscosity may be most commonly observed in patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and multiple myeloma. Patients with high viscosity may have capillary occlusion, stasis hypoxia, and acidosis.
