We describe a method of estimating an effective volume of body fluid, the effective volume comprising a circulating blood volume (CBV) or circulating plasma volume (CPV), the method comprising: inputting first data defining a first measured concentration (Co), of a blood or plasma component in a patient; inputting second data defining a second measured concentration (C2) of a blood or plasma component in the patient, wherein said second measured concentration is a concentration measured after administration of a known fluid volume (Vf); determining estimate data representing an estimate of an effective volume (Ve) of said CBV or CPV from said first and second measured data and said known fluid volume(Vf); and storing and/or outputting said estimate data. |
