The greatest source of blood viscosity is the concentration of red blood cells, known as hematocrit. Higher levels of red blood cells increase the thickness of blood, making it more viscous. Additionally, plasma proteins, such as fibrinogen and globulins, also contribute to blood viscosity, but to a lesser extent than red blood cells. Overall, the balance between these components determines the fluidity of the blood.
