Blood and Packed Cell Volume of the Adult Rat as Measured by Tagged Cells.

The effect of congestive heart failure on blood volume as determined by radiochromium-tagged red cells.

Whole Blood Volume Determined by Radiochromium - Tagged Red Cells

IN CONGESTIVE heart failure the blood volume has generally been considered to be elevated." 6, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21t 24 Recent investigations by Prentice and co-workers19 and by Ross and associates,20 using P32-tagged erythrocytes, have suggested that the blood volume in heart failure often is not increased. The importance of hypervolemia in both the physiology and therapy of cardiac failure has ...

Determination of packed cell volume by centrifugation.

Effect of packed cell volume on blood glucose estimations.

The effect of changes in packed cell volume was studied in two commonly used reagent strip methods (Dextrostix and Reflotest) of measuring blood glucose and in a filter paper blood spot method. It was found that the results with both the reagent strip methods were greatly haematocrit-dependent. Attention is drawn to the possibility of false diagnoses of hypoglycaemia in haemoconcentrated patien...

Comparison of red cell and whole blood volume as performed using both chromium-51-tagged red cells and iodine-125-tagged albumin and using I-131-tagged albumin and extrapolated red cell volume.

BACKGROUND Our facility's current blood volume measurement protocol has involved separate measurement of plasma and red cell volumes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether measurement with a recently FDA-approved, one-compartment semiautomated system provides similar accuracy. METHODS Blood volume measurement was performed on 27 volunteers using our current protocol followed immed...
