Hemoglobin Mass and Blood Volume at Moderate Altitude: Establishing Lean-Body-Mass-Adjusted Reference Values for Clinical Use
Moderate altitude is associated with a higher BV owing to a higher RBCV, which also explains the elevated Hb. A reference range based on the 5% and 97.5% percentiles of blood volumes and Hbmass adjusted for LBM is suggested for use in clinical practice.
