The body/venous hematocrit ratio: its constancy over a wide hematocrit range.
Most observers have found that when circulating red cell volume is deduced from measurement of plasma volume and venous hematocrit a higher value is obtained than when the red cell volume is measured directly. It is widely believed that this is because the proportion of red cells in the blood in large vessels is higher than that in the body as a whole and various correction factors have been pr...
متن کاملThe body hematocrit/venous hematocrit ratio and the "splenic reservoir".
D URING measurements of total body red cell volume by the Cr51-technic in this laboratory, normal or elevated values were observed in several patients with moderate “anemia”, as judged by the hematocrit of peripheral venous blood. #{176} In each instance, marked to massive splenomegaly was present and increased localization of red cell radioactivity in the spleen was noted by body surface scann...
متن کاملHematocrit and hematocrit viscosity ratio during exercise in athletes: Even closer to predicted optimal values?
The hemorheological theory of optimal hematocrit suggests that the best value of hematocrit (hct) should be that which results in the highest value of the hematocrit/viscosity (h/η) ratio. Trained athletes compared to sedentary subjects have a lower hct, but a higher h/η, and endurance training reduces the discrepancy between the actual hct and the ⪡ideal⪢ hct that can be predicted with a theor...
متن کاملIncrease of hematocrit in experimental renal hypertension and its reversal.
Hematocrit can be increased in experimental animals with renal hypertension of two-kidney type. The present study showed that the increased hematocrit was returned to normal by removal of the clipped kidney. The left renal artery was clipped in 13 rabbits with an intact contralateral kidney, and a sham operation was performed in 10 rabbits as a control. After an interval of 10 weeks the left ki...
متن کاملAltitude adaptation through hematocrit changes.
Adaptation takes place not only when going to high altitude, as generally accepted, but also when going down to sea level. Immediately upon ascent to high altitude, the carotid body senses the lowering of the arterial oxygen partial pressure due to a diminished barometric pressure. High altitude adaptation is defined as having three stages: 1) acute, first 72 hours, where acute mountain sicknes...
