Hematocrit is a measure of the percent of red blood cells in the blood (plasma + RBC). So the more red blood cells the higher the hemoglobin content. It is a linear relationship not a cause and effect.
I do believe this could be caused by a number of things.Kidney cancer, smoking can of course cause problems with the lungs. if your not getting enough air it can cause the red blood cell count to rise. copd,just to name a few ,,,,,,,,see your doctor right away if you notice weight loss.
normally hb is approximately 1/3 of hematocrit
polycythemia
usually peripheral edema is cause by right sided heart failure . people with COPD have polycythemia , means high level of RBCs , means high level of hemoglobin . when hemoglobin is high , hematocrit is high also . People who have a high hematocrit count may be at higher risk for heart problems
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
The hematocrit is also called the erythrocyte volume fraction, which is the percentage by volume of red blood cells in the blood. Erythrocyte is another name for the red blood cell in humans, so the higher the count, the larger the hematocrit.
yes malaria causes increase of ESR and decrease of hematocrit.
hemoglobin, hematocrit, WBC count, and platelet count.
I believe your Red to White blood cell count.
Yes there is an increase in hematocrit and this is due to anoxia
For a man, it isn't. For a woman it is a little high.
play COD and grow a pair
There is not a critical/panic value associated with red blood cell counts. The RBC is usually not clinically significant but the hemoglobin and hematocrit are. Hematocrit is calculated using the red count, that is why it is needed.
