    Abstract: The present invention is related generally to measurement of body fluid volumes in an animal subject. The body fluid volumes of interest include extracellular fluid volume (ECFV), total vascular plasma volume (TVPV) and interstitial fluid volume (IFV). The methods are especially beneficial for subjects suffering from renal failure and particularly those undergoing renal dialysis. ECFV can be measured by administering a first molecule which is non-metabolized and permeable to vessel walls of the vascular system wherein the first molecule is distributed within the total vascular space as well as the interstitial space. TVPV can be measured by administering a second molecule which is non-metabolized and impermeable to vessel walls of the vascular system wherein the second molecule is distributed within only the vascular space. IFV can then be calculated using the equation IFV=ECFV−TVPV.

    Abstract: A method for measuring a glomerular filtration rate in a mammalian kidney comprises a source of reporter and marker fluorescent molecules. The fluorescent molecules are introduced into the blood stream of a mammalian subject. Over a period of time, a measurement of the intensities of the reporter and marker fluorescent molecules is taken. A ratio is calculated to determine the health of the subject's kidney. This method measures volume of plasma distribution based on a fluorescence of a marker molecule relative to a fluorescence of a reporter molecule.
