The values of Hct, Hb and rheological properties of blood and plasma at the baseline and after complete the 1-step hemodilution (1HD) and the 2-step hemodilution (2HD). Viscosity was measured at shear rate of 160 1/sec at 37^°C. Values are means ± SD. compared with baseline, ^† compared with the 1-step hemodilution using same plasma expander. ^‡ compared with Dx70 in the same step hemodilution.
