Brown et al developed several equations for predicting the plasma volume in adult females. The authors are from the University of California San Francisco and University of California at Berkeley.
NOTE: The authors are the same as in the previous section.
Subjects were adult females mostly in their 20's and 30's.
plasma volume in mL =
= (21.09 * (body height in cm)) - 1362
plasma volume in mL =
= (28.89 * (body weight in kg)) + 455
plasma volume in mL =
= (9.03 * (height in cm)) + (24.13 * (weight in kg)) - 766
plasma volume in mL =
= (1747 * (BSA in square meter)) - 733
Performance:
• The standard deviations were from 209 to 243 mL.
• The coefficient of variation is around 10%.
