In view of modern physiology, the rasa dhatu includes plasma, interstitial fluids and lymph. The rasa dhatvagni is related with glucose metabolism, circulation in portal vein, formation of white blood cells.  In opinion of some researchers, rasa dhatu has three major components solids, water and gases.  Solids are 7-8 % and contains organic substances like plasmaproteins, carbohydrate, enzymes, nonprotein nitrogenous substances, amino acids, internal secretions like hormones and antibodies.Inorganic substances include sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, phosphate, iodide, iron and copper. Water is 92-93 %. The gases include oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.  

 

As per the opinion of Singh G., the fluid flowing in blood vessels is a mixture of ahararasa, rasa, shonita etc.It is not one dhatu.From modern physiological point of view also, the liquid flowing in the blood vessels is a mixture of nutrients, plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets etc.

Some researchers opine that the clinical conditions of increase in rasa dhatu can be considered as acidosis or hypercalcaemia or chronic liver diseases. Whereas the conditions of decrease in rasa dhatu corelates with alkalosis or hypokalaemia or hypocalcaemia or hyponatremia or hypomagnesemia.
