Abstract
Blood volume was measured on 25 normal adult subjects by using chromium 51 as tracer element and was then statistically correlated with different parameters i-e height, weight and surface area for expressing blood volume. High significant correlation between blood volume and surface area in male (R=0.9, P<0.00) and female subjects (R=0.06, P<0.00) was found. It is concluded that surface area should be used for expressing blood volume as a reliable parameters.
