Red Cell Mass and Plasma Volume Measurements in Elderly Men and Women With Anemia

Completed
Conditions
Anemia
Registration Number
NCT01011361
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

On the basis that the clinical consequences of seemingly trivial levels of anemia are surprisingly severe, this study investigates if hemoglobin concentration accurately represents the underlying red cell mass in elderly patients with unresolved anemia.

Detailed Description

For the study, the routine clinical measurement of hemoglobin will be compared to true red cell mass and plasma volume in elderly patients with anemia.
