A chloride-centered approach for analyzing the association of changes in red blood cell and plasma volumes under worsening of heart failure

Hajime Kataoka*

The electrolyte chloride is the key electrolyte for regulating red blood cell volume and also plasma volume under transition of HF status, both from stability to worsening and recovery. The present study examined serum chloride concentration-centered association of the changes in red blood cell volume and plasma volume under transition of HF from stability to worsening of HF. ....
