a(MESH:Hemodilution)
We calculated the loss of blood and extent of hemodilution during and after surgery based on the Hct levels for nontransfused patients (Table 1). Hct was significantly decreased (by approximately 20%, P = 0.0087) and hemodilution was significantly increased (P = 0.007) in these patients. PubMed:27308950
Thus, we hypothesized that loss of blood during surgery and hemodilution from crystalloid administration might contribute to the observed decrease in plasma NOx levels. PubMed:27308950
Thus, it was apparent that blood loss and hemodilution from IV fluids rather than stored RBC transfusion likely played a role in the transient decrease of these NO metabolites. PubMed:27308950

The alternate explanation for a postoperative decrease in nitrate may be related to blood loss during and after surgery as well as hemodilution. PubMed:27308950
