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 ...

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 ...

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today highlights findings on acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)—a blood-saving strategy where a patient’s blood is withdrawn before heart-lung bypass and returned ...

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 ...

In this trial involving adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery, acute normovolemic hemodilution did not reduce the number of patients receiving allogeneic red-cell transfusion.
