With high hematocrit would you expect your hemoglobin determination to be?
High
What is the ratio of hematocrit to hemoglobin in a healthy adult?
12.5g/dl hemoglobin what would the hematocrit be
Why would your hemoglobin be high if you hematocrit is high?
normally hb is approximately 1/3 of hematocrit
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
A high hematocrit indicates a high percentage of red blood cells and therefore high hemoglobin.
Which of the following laboratory tests would be abnormal for a patient with anemia?
Hematocrit and hemoglobin
What test would hemoconcentration affect?
Hemoconcentration would particularly affect a hemoglobin level or hematocrit.
What type of anemia would cause a reduced hemoglobin level but a normal hematocrit?
normocytic anemia
Why would high hematocrit cause high hemoglobin?
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.
Why would you expect the hematocrit to be lower in an anemic individual?
The hematocrit is lower in an anemic individual because the hematocrit is the result of a test for iron in the blood. If a person has anemia, that also means that the blood is starved of iron.
How many amino acids would you expect to find between the hemoglobin of a human and a wolf?
There are no differences in the amino acids in human hemoglobin and wolf hemoglobin.
What change would you expect to occur in the hematocrit of a person who is dehydrated?
Hematocrit measures the percentage of whole blood volume that is made up of red blood cells. Because plasma is part of whole blood, if a person is dehydrated, the hematocrit will be elevated.
How many amino acid differences would you expect to find between the hemoglobin of a human and a wolf?
There are no differences in the amino acids in human hemoglobin and wolf hemoglobin.
