title: Changes in red cell mass, plasma volume and hematocrit in patients on CAPD.
abstract: 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.
