Elevated serum levels of PSA provide a good primary indicator of prostate cancer and are often used to prompt diagnostic biopsy. A recent report from Bañez et al. suggests that the increased plasma ...

The effects of neonatal polycythemia (venous hematocrit ≥ 70 %) and hemodilution on nutritive capillary perfusion were studied by a videophotometric microscopy technique. The capillary blood flow ...

Early intraoperative normovolemic hemodilution failed to save red blood cell supplies in a randomized clinical trial of over 2,000 people. The single-blind trial had people undergoing cardiac surgery ...

Intracoronary infusion of a room temperature solution during primary PCI achieves its goal of hemodilution safely, preliminary research suggests, but larger studies are required to show whether the ...

A global clinical trial released today highlights findings on acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)—a blood-saving strategy where a patient’s blood is withdrawn before heart-lung bypass and returned ...

Hemodilution from increased circulating plasma volumes could explain why obese men with prostate cancer have lower serum PSA levels than non-obese men with the malignancy, according to researchers. A ...

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery have a high risk of allogeneic red-cell transfusion. Whether hemodilution can reduce this risk has been unclear. New research findings are summarized in a short ...
