The estimation of red cell volume with 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes and plasma volume with radioiodinated human serum albumin.
The validity of a simplified procedure for the direct estimation of both red cell and plasma volume, using (51)Cr-labelled erythrocytes and radioiodinated human serum albumin, has been examined. It is suggested that the procedure, involving three venepunctures only, will yield accurate measurements of both compartments.
