Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate how differences in estimating blood volume compartments (like plasma or red cell volume) can occur when using methods based on blood measurements, like venous haematocrit, which might introduce errors due to higher whole body haematocrit levels.
  • - Four methods were tested: carbon monoxide (CO) re-breathing for hemoglobin mass, indocyanine green (ICG) for plasma volume, and sodium fluorescein (SoF) for red blood cell volume. Results showed no significant difference between ICG and CO re-breathing estimates when a correction factor was applied, while SoF provided lower RBC volume values than CO re-breathing.
  • - Although CO re-b

Blood volume analysis by radioisotopic dilution techniques: state of the art.

Appl Radiat Isot

February 2015

Nuclear Medicine Service, Puerta del Mar University Hospital, Avenida Ana de Viya 21, 11009 Cádiz, Spain. Electronic address:

In the last years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of blood volume abnormalities in the pathophysiology of several conditions and, consequently, a growing interest of accurate and rapid volume status assessment. Accordingly, there has been a surge of interest in blood volume analysis by radioisotopic dilution technique. However, there are still some controversies about this technique, such as the use of the f-cell ratio, the errors associated with the method and the reference values.

Double tracer blood volume technique revealed in open heart surgery patients a wide variability of Fcells-value in about 11 per cent of cases investigated, from the "normal" 0.91 value. The possible calculational error of blood volume measurements by single-isotopic--haematocrit methods in the normal or subnormal LVH-ranges point to the superiority of plasma volume determinations in the calculation of the total blood volume.
