Estimating the plasma volume by infusing albumin: a retrospective feasibility study
This study suggests how an evaluation of this method using isotopes can be conducted. Changes in plasma albumin and blood hemoglobin have the best chance to accurately indicate the PV at the end of, or 10 min after, a 30-min infusion of albumin. Subtraction of 0.3 L from the PV is sufficient to correct for capillary leakage of albumin.
