The estimation of red cell volume with 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes and plasma volume with radioiodinated human serum albumin. 1962

D HART, and J METZ

The validity of a simplified procedure for the direct estimation of both red cell and plasma volume, using (51)Cr-labelled erythrocytes and radioiodinated human serum albumin, has been examined. It is suggested that the procedure, involving three venepunctures only, will yield accurate measurements of both compartments.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010953	Plasma Volume	Volume of PLASMA in the circulation. It is usually measured by INDICATOR DILUTION TECHNIQUES.	Blood Plasma Volume,Blood Plasma Volumes,Plasma Volumes,Volume, Blood Plasma,Volume, Plasma,Volumes, Blood Plasma,Volumes, Plasma
D001811	Blood Volume Determination	Method for determining the circulating blood volume by introducing a known quantity of foreign substance into the blood and determining its concentration some minutes later when thorough mixing has occurred. From these two values the blood volume can be calculated by dividing the quantity of injected material by its concentration in the blood at the time of uniform mixing. Generally expressed as cubic centimeters or liters per kilogram of body weight.
