A hematocrit of 27.7 in an adult female is low, but is not considered a critical level requiring emergency contact and follow-up.
If it is significantly low, this can be an indicator of anemia.
Hematocrit is a percentage, so low hct with normal hgb levels could mean overhydration.
Low hemoglobin and low hematocrit are indicative of anemia.

Yes, low hematocrit can be very dangerous if it left untreated. Causes of this condition are bleeding, destruction of red blood cells, decreased production of the cells, and overhydrating.
The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is red blood cells so a low hematocrit usually means the red blood cells are low. The most common reason for this is increased blood loss, often from menstrual or gastrointestinal bleeding. It could also be from decreased production due to a bone marrow problem or vitamin or iron deficiency or some more unusual problems.
