The Complete Blood Count test measures the percentage of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample.
What is the difference between packed cell volume and red cell count?
Red blood cell count (RBC-count) is the number of erythrocytes in one liter of blood.Packed cell volume (PCV) is the percentage of erythrocytes in one liter of blood. Thus, PCV is a measure of the totalvolume of red blood cells in a sample, while RBC-count is the number of red blood cells in a sample, MCV- mean corpuscular volume is the mean volume of erythrocytes in a sample, thus:PCV = RBC-count x MCV
What does the VCM represent in a blood sample?
