Best Answer

Hematocrit is a measure of the % of blood occupied by the Red Blood Cells (RBC) which carry oxygen. In the short term the hematocrit is affected by the % of water in the body, so if the person becomes dehydrated there is relatively less water than cells, so the haematocrit goes up.

What happen to the hematocrit when you have hemorrhage?

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.

What happen when hematocrit level is low normal range?

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.
