    Blood volume is the total volume of blood in the circulatory system, typically between 4.7 to 5 liters for adults. It is regulated by the kidneys and can be calculated from hematocrit, red blood cell fraction, and plasma volume. Diagnostic technologies exist to accurately measure human blood volume such as the FDA approved BVA-100 analysis which measures red blood cells and plasma with 98% accuracy, and is useful for diagnosing and treating patients with conditions affecting blood volume like heart failure, hypertension, and kidney disease.

    Blood volume

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Jump to: navigation, search
    Blood volume is the volume of blood (both red blood cells and plasma) in a person's
    circulatory system. A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately between 4.7 and
    5 liters, with females generally having less blood volume than males. [1]. Blood volume
    is regulated by the kidneys.
    Blood volume (BV) can be calculated given the hematocrit (HC; the fraction of blood
    that is red blood cells) and plasma volume (PV):

    Diagnostic technologies are commercially available to measure human blood volume. A


    recent radionucleotide study called BVA-100, Blood Volume Analysis is the only FDA
    approved instrument that provides a measure of Red Blood Cells and Plasma with 98%
    accuracy.
    Blood volume measurement is indicated for the diagnosis and treatment patients suffering
    from Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Hypertension, Renal Failure and Critical Care.
