(Fig 1). Con¬ versely, the hematocrit reading was significantly higher in borderline hy¬ pertension.Since the decreased plasma volume is considered the main finding of this study, it will be further analyzed in respect to its reproducibility, its rela¬ tionship to body weight, and its rela¬ tionship to other hemodynamic mea¬ surements.Reproducibility of the Plasma Vol¬ ume Measurement.- Figure 2 shows plasma volume measurement re¬ peated in ten patients whose first de¬ termination was in the lower two thirds of the original sample. The second determination was taken from 6 to 60 weeks after the initial measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
