    Plasma volume (PV) refers to the total amount of liquid and proteins present within the circulatory system at any given time. PV plays a role in regulating water balance in the body; when plasma volume changes, the corresponding change in osmotic pressure affects fluid distribution in the body.

    Plasma Volume falls under the Cardiovascular Health category.
