Abstract
Determination of plasma volume (PV) is important in several clinical situations. Thus, patients with liver disease often have augmented PV as part of their sodium-water retention. This study was undertaken to compare PV determination by two indicators: technetium-labelled human serum albumin ((99m) Tc-HSA) and iodine-labelled human serum albumin ((125) I-HSA), as the former may have advantages at repeated measurements and the latter is the classical gold standard.
