Abstract

<p>The capillary takes a role to provide every cell composing living tissue oxygen and nutrients and to recover carbon dioxide and wastes. The compromised capillaries preventing normal metabolism of living tissues possibly causes or complicates various diseases. As the mechanism to maintain the function of capillaries is much complicated, it is difficult to derive the cause or the process of malfunction only from biological observation. In this study, the mechanical effect on a compromised capillary was investigated computationally. Some previous studies reports high plasma viscosity for diabetes patients, which possibly causes slower blood flow or higher shear stress to injure a capillary wall. The result showed that the stress to a clot on a cyrindrical capillary was higher for viscous diabetic plasma or thin and mounted clots. </p>
