ACCURATE METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF RED CELL VOLUME IN POLYCYTHEMIA VERA
Abstract
The detailed procedure was performed to determination of blood volume in polycythemia vera. The usual protocol takes 3 hours to run with patients but the new procedure takes only 1.5 hours, 87% of patients who come to section of nuclear medicine, Siriraj Hospital, for blood volume measurement are polycythemia vera. This special development saves 45% of time without using any money because this research comes from routine work. It is an example for young staffs who always complain about lacking of money and time to do research.
