Clinical symptoms are noted which reflect hyperviscosity in the serum. The hyperviscosity syndrome is usually associated with macroglobulinemia, and, occasionally, with multiple myeloma. The common feature in these varied manifestations of hyperviscosity is the response to lowering the serum level of anomalous protein and, thus, the serum viscosity. Plasmagphersis has been used successfully to reduce serum macroglobulins and excessive viscosity, to eliminate hyperviscosity symptomatology and induce subjective and objective improvement. Each patient appears to have a symptomatic threshold, ie, a relative viscosity level which is associated with the onset of clinical symptomatology. The symptomatic threshold is determined by the properties and concentration of the macroglobulin and by host factors which determine the vulnerability of individuals to elevated viscosity.
