Abstract
AbstractBlood Plasma Viscosity (PV) is an established biomarker for numerous diseases. While PV colloquially refers to theshear viscosity, there is a second viscosity component--thebulk viscosity--that describes the irreversible fluid compressibility on short time scales. The bulk viscosity is acutely sensitive to solid-like suspensions, and obtainable via the longitudinal viscosity from acoustic attenuation measurements. Whether it has diagnostic value remains unexplored yet may be pertinent given the association of diverse pathologies with the formation of plasma suspensions, such as fibrin-microstructures in COVID-19 and long-COVID. Here we show that the longitudinal PV measured using Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) can serve as a proxy for the shear PV of blood plasma, and exhibits a temperature dependence consistent with increased suspension concentrations in severe COVID-patient plasma. Our results open a new avenue for PV diagnostics based on the longitudinal PV, and show that BLS can provide a means for its clinical implementation.
