The formula to calculate the Plasma Volume is:
PV=Hct⋅TBV1−Hct
Where:
Plasma volume refers to the amount of plasma, the liquid component of blood, circulating in the body. Plasma makes up about 55% of total blood volume and is composed primarily of water, but also contains proteins, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, hormones, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. It plays a crucial role in maintaining blood pressure and regulating body temperature.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
PV=0.45⋅50001−0.45≈4090.91mL
The Plasma Volume (PV) is approximately 4090.91 mL.
