By combining clinical observation and animal experiments and using FASCO - 3010 hemorheological devices to examine the relevant indices

it was found that no obvious changes can be found in the group treated with hormone before and after the treatment

whereas in the group with traditional drugs added

the RBC deformation

and specific viscosity of plasma were all markedly lowered. Comparison of rheological changes in SD rat showed that traditional Chinese drugs can markedly improve the hemorheology in such patients

indicating that these TCM treating principles can improve the concentrated

viscous

coagulated

agglutinated pathological blood status in SLE patients.
