Use of the hematocrit for estimating changes in plasma and red cell volumes in the rat
The Japanese Journal of Physiology
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
Methods to quantitate changes in plasma volume based on changes in the hematocrit, which have been widely used in human subjects and large animals, were tested in small animals, such as rats. A modified equation was derived for application of the hematocrit method to small animals.
