Dynamic surface tensions and dilational visco-elasticity are easy accessible parameters of liquids. For human body liquids, such as urine, blood serum, amniotic fluid, gastric juice, saliva and others, these parameters are very characteristic for the health status of people. In case of a disease the composition of certain liquids specifically changes and the measured characteristics of dynamic surface tension of the dilational surface elasticity and viscosity reflect these changes in a clear way. Thus, this kind of physico-chemical measurements represent sensitive tools for evaluating the severity of a disease and can serve as control tool for the efficiency of applied therapies. The overview summarises the results of a successful work over about 25years on this subject and gives specific insight into a number of diseases for which the diagnostics as well as the therapy control have been significantly improved by the application of physico-chemical experimental techniques.
