Abstract
The disappearance rate constant of radioiodinated human serum albumin (RIHSA) and 51Cr-tagged erythrocytes was measured in rats before and after intravenous, isoncotic blood volume expansion (6% bovine albumin; 75 or 33% of blood volume). Before volume expansion the average slope of the semilogarithmically plotted plasma RIHSA activity was -2.068 X 10(-3) +/- 0.146 X 10(-3) (SE) min-1. The slope was not significantly changed when tested by subsequent tracer injections which were made immediately after and 1 h after volume expansion. Preinfusion plasma volume (PV) was constant, but total erythrocyte volume (RCV) increased at a significant rate from 0.0253 +/- 0.0030 to 0.0300 +/- 0.0038 ml/g body wt over the 2-h period. PV was elevated and RCV was unchanged by the infusion, but both decreased significantly thereafter. The observed erythrocyte loss could not be accounted for by sampling or bleeding. Arterial hematocrit remained constant while RCV and PV were decreasing, and it was identical to whole-body hematocrit throughout. It was concluded that 1) isoncotic albumin expansion did not change the rate constant of transcapillary albumin loss; 2) nonsteady state PV could be calculated from a single preinfusion RIHSA dose; and 3) sequestration of blood may be a part of the rat's response to volume expansion.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
