Waldenström's macroglobulinemia: correlation between expanded plasma volume and increased serum viscosity.
TLDR
It is concluded that the plasma volume increase is correlated with serum viscosity and is mediated by sodium retention mechanisms not involving modification of aldosterone secretion.About:

Macroglobulinemia: An Analysis for Forty Patients
TL;DR: It was found that attempts to classify patients with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia as primary or secondary frequently proved in error with long-term observation and as such should be discarded.

M A McGrath,R Penny +1 more
TL;DR: Observations illustrate the complex relationship between blood viscosity, concentration of paraprotein, immunoglobulin class and hematocrit, and emphasize the importance of measuring the whole blood Viscosity at low rates of shear in determining the risk of vascular complications.

Immunoglobulins in clinical chemistry.
TL;DR: The crude but simple overall measurement of immunoglobulins can be useful in various areas—immune deficiency, recurrent respiratory infections, Crohn's and celiac diseases, and endocarditis.

The body/venous hematocrit ratio: its constancy over a wide hematocrit range
TL;DR: It is generally held that the only reliable estimates of total blood volume are those based on separate measurements of both red cell volume and plasma volume, and it has been suggested that the body/venous hematocrit ratio may be inconstant so that it cannot safely be used to deduce blood volume from an estimate of either red cellVolume or plasma volume.

Serum hyperviscosity syndrome.
TL;DR: The hyperviscosity syndrome commonly includes mucous membrane bleeding, retinopathy and loss of vision, and neurological disorders associated with elevated serum viscosity, and is frequently seen in patients with macroglobulinemia, with or without demonstrable lymphoma, but only rarely with multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: A rather large scatter of data around mean prediction values has been found by all workers, regardless of methods employed, when values for whole blood volume, red cell volume and plasma volume are related to body weight, height, or combinations of these measures.
