Hematocrit represents the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. If a patient's hematocrit is 42 percent, this means that red blood cells make up 42 percent of the total blood volume. Therefore, the remaining blood volume, which is primarily plasma, would be approximately 58 percent (100% - 42% = 58%).
