Hematocrit is a percentage, so low hct with normal hgb levels could mean overhydration.
waht is the sideeffects of low iron serum....
A hemoglobin of 16.5 and hematocrit of 47.6 are within normal ranges for adults. These values indicate that your blood has sufficient oxygen-carrying capacity. However, it's always best to interpret these results in the context of your overall health and symptoms with the help of a healthcare provider.
The normal ratio of packed cell volume (PCV) to hemoglobin (Hb) is approximately 3:1. This means that for every 1 gram of hemoglobin, there are about 3 times the volume of packed red blood cells in the blood.
Normal Hematocrit for Men is 41-53%Normal for Female is 36-46%
The normal hematocrit level for men is typically between 41 to 50.
Iron deficiency anemia. The normal hematocrit (ratio of packed red blood cells to total blood volume) rules out anemia due to loss of blood cells through hemorrhage or sickling. Below-normal hemoglabin indicates an iron deficiency in this case. No available iron = no hemoglobin produced.
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.
For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
Anemia will reduce the Hematocrit levels. Normal Hematocrit levels are 37-47 in females and 42-54 in males. In anemia, the levels are below normal. In polycythemia, they are above normal.
Hcg is a pregnancy hormone, often used to determine if conception has occurred. Are you sure they didn't test for hemoglobin (Hb) and/or hematocrit (Hct)? Those are used to test iron levels.
Normal levels of hemoglobin for neonates are 17 - 22 g/dl.
