[Viscosity of blood and sensorineural hearing loss (author's transl)].
A statistical survey about the results of treatment of Pentoxifyllin (Trental) in acute and long-standing sensorineural hearing losses is given. The pharmacological effect of viscosity lowering in such patients is demonstrated. The role of erythrocytes and their behaviour in relation to the viscosity of blood its showed by means of literature.
