Blood Volume of the Normal Female as Determined with P32 Labeled Red Blood Cells.

Abstract

As measured in 16 normal females with P32 labeled red blood cells, the blood volume was 64.4 cc/kg; total red cell volume was 27.0 cc/kg with the plasma volume 37.0 cc/kg body weight. These values for the total red cell volume do not differ markedly from those observed in a similar group of males when the difference in total body fat in the two sexes is taken into consideration.
