Figure 1 Plasma volume values in age-matched normal control subjects (n = 7) in the same cohort of HTRs (n = 8) before and after stabilization on captopril (225 mg/day) and in age-matched liver transplant recipients (n = 6). Data are presented as the mean value ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus HTR after captopril, control and liver transplant groups.
