If you have a high hematocrit, your hemoglobin levels would likely be high as well. Hematocrit measures the volume of red blood cells in blood, while hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit often corresponds with an increase in hemoglobin levels.
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.

What does hemoglobin levels have to do with donating blood?
FDA guidelines require allogeneic blood donors to have a hemoglobin level or 12.5 g/dL or greater, or a hematocrit of 38% or greater. Autologous donors (self-donation) must have a hematocrit of at least 33%.
What causes blood transfusionor low blood pressure?
If you have a low blood pressure, low hematocrit and hemoglobin, you need to have a blood transfusion.
What does the medical abbreviation h and h mean?
The medical abbreviation "H and H" usually stands for hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Hemoglobin measures how much oxygen-carrying protein is present in the blood, while hematocrit measures the proportion of red blood cells to the total blood volume. These values are important for understanding a person's blood health.
What are the proper units of measurement for reporting hemoglobin and hematocrit results?
gm/dl; GRAMS of hemoglobin that are present in a DECILITER of a blood sample
