No, their hematocrit will decrease. Though they may gain RBC, their plasma volume will have a greater increase in volume, thus decreasing the hematocrit concentration.
hemoconcentration
Hematocrit is not an abbreviation. It is the ratio of plasma and the formed elements leukocytes, thrombocytes and erythrocytes.
Hematocrit is the concentration of cells in the blood, measured by the relationship between the cells in the blood (red and white) and the liquid part of the blood called plasma. Normally the less amount of liquid in the body the fewer amounts there will be in the blood itself, therefore the cell/plasma ratio will decrease making the blood more concentrated. That's why the bigger the dehydration, the higher the hematocrit.
Hematocrit is the proportion of your total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells. If you add the plasma, what you have is a blood sample called a full blood count.
HEMATOCRIT
The hematocrit calculates the percentage of red blood cells in the plasma. The term hematocrit means to separate blood. Brain hemorrhage is caused by an artery in the brain bursting and causing bleeding in surrounding tissues. A hematocrit that is done immediately after a hemorrhage does not show any signs of RBC loss because at the time of the hemorrhage, plasma and red blood cells are lost in equal proportions.
Hematocrit
Plasma hasn't a definite volume.
Hematocrit ^_______^
no. it is merely the ratio of blood volume test.
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.
