An elevated total RBC volume (TRCV) in milliliters per kilogram of body weight has been an essential criterion for determining whether a person is polycythemic. This may be misleading in obese subjects as the TRCV per kilogram of fat is only one-tenth that of the TRCV of the lean body mass (LBM). Various formulas based on surface area have been used to account for this difference, but they are not always reliable. Direct measurement of TRCV per kilogram of lean body mass was obtained originally in studies in which body composition was determined by the combined body density and total body water measurement method. This is impractical as a routine procedure, but simple-to-use instruments are now available for direct measurement of a person's body composition and percentage of fat by impedance technology. Thus, the TRCV can be obtained by a direct measurement that discounts the effects of fat, and a graph has been designed to normalize the TRCV to milliliters per kilogram of LBM. The TRCV for men and women has been established as 36 mL/kg LBM; when it is more than 43 mL/kg LBM, a diagnosis of polychthemia can be made with confidence.
