(Application of hemoconcentration and plasma volume estimation indicators in the evaluation of the degree of congestion in a patient with heart failure)

Volume overload is still one of the most important problems associated with chronic heart failure and it is a significant prognostic factor. Monitoring of diuretic therapy by using hemoconcentration indicators and plasma volume estimation can help us increase the effectiveness of a treatment and improve drug dose titration in the context of the patient's clinical condition. In this article we would like to present a 75-year-old patient with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction and demonstrate on her example how to use a few simple equations to estimate plasma volume and its changes.
