There is a relatively new method of measuring blood volume – carbon monoxide rebreathing. It is much cheaper and easier than the old way (nuclear isotopes).
It is being used at NASA to study hypovolemia in astronauts, as well as in sports science and altitude studies.
This machine is undergoing approval for medical use this year. It is made in Denmark. The company has a scheme to lend out a machine for two months free of charge to scientists who will put it to good use.

I think this will allow scientists to finally do some good research on low blood volume in ME/CFS and orthostatic intolerance because it will be much more affordable.
