Changes in red cell mass, plasma volume and hematocrit in patients on CAPD.
In summary, sequential measurements of hematocrit, red cell mass and plasma volume were made in 10 CAPD patients over one year. There was a demonstrated rise in Hct, accompanied by, and correlated with, a fall in plasma volume. There was, however, no change in red cell mass at one year.
