It has been heard recently that the blood is SARASARA (sensuous expression as a murmur of a brook) or DORODORO (unsensuous syrupy) used as a means to express its fluidity. The mass media uses these as slang expressing in indices of health condition. It is not desirable that some of hemorheology researchers are using these in spite of the definition of these words being not clear. Also, there are no criteria which can set any reliance as numeric expression on the present state. Author want to make reference about the recent advances on clinical hemorheology based on such a back ground in this paper. This paper describes the relation between the viscosity of blood, deformability of blood cells, and microcirculation from the view point of clinical hemorheology. Furthermore, it outlines about the fluidity of blood concerning with metabolism, hormonal function, exercise, cytokines, growth factors, oxidative stress and the leukocyte rheology. Speaking conclusively. being only that the hemorheology makes on a part of pathophysiology we have to take into consideration that there are many factors in the pathogenesis of disease and progress.
