Boer derived equations for plasma volume based on height, weight, lean body mass and body surface area.

height in meters |
1.76 * (height) |

LBM in kg |
0.0579 * (kg LBM) |
where:
• BSA = body surface area in square meters
• LBM = lean body mass
• Boer's equation for estimating lean body mass from height and weight are given in 02.01.12.
The plasma volume can be estimated from lean body mass independent of gender:

Purpose: To estimate a patient's plasma volume using the equations of Boer.
Objective: other testing, dosage calculations
