Plasma Volume from Body Surface Area

First, convert BSA into square meters. If in square centimeters, divide BSA by 10,000.

Second, determine patient's sex.

Third, perform calculation:

• if male: plasma volume in mL = (BSA in m^2) * 1560

• if female: plasma volume in mL = (BSA in m^2) * 1410

Other Equations

For men:

plasma volume = (BSA in m^2) * 1630

plasma volume = 995 * (e ^ (0.6085 * (BSA in m^2)))

plasma volume = (1580 * (BSA in m^2)) - 520

For women:

plasma volume = 1278 * ((BSA in m^2)  ^ (1.289))
