FOOD PROTEIN EFFECT ON PLASMA SPECIFIC GRAVITY, PLASMA PROTEIN, AND HEMATOCRIT VALUE

Food Protein Effect on Plasma Specific Gravity, Plasma Protein, and Hematocrit Value

When the protein consumption of normal human individuals is increased from 0.5, to 1.5, to 2.5 gm. of protein per kilo body weight, the specific gravity of the plasma rises and the hematocrit value falls. The analysis of variance demonstrates that the change in protein consumption is a significant but minor factor in determining the total variability of the observations. When albino rats were g...

The Estimation of Plasma Protein Concentration from Plasma Specific Gravity

In 1930 Moore and Van Slyke (1) reviewed the various physical measurements, refractometric and others, that might serve as measures of the protein concentration of plasma, and concluded that specific gravity was the most reliable if application was required to pathological as well as normal plasmas. For plasma of nephritic patients they found that the relation between protein concentration and ...

The Relationships between Plasma Specific Gravity, Plasma Protein Content and Edema in Nephritis.

The effect of various anticoagulants on the specific gravity of blood and of plasma, and on the hematocrit.

PJIHE INTRODUCTION of rapid, simple methods for measuring the specific gravity of body fluids ’ has led to a growing appreciation of the usefulness of such measurements, particularly as applied to blood and plasma.’’#{176} Although it is not difficult to measure the specific gravity of blood prior to coagulation, the comparable treatment of plasma requires special facilities for rapid sedimenta...
