The speed and time of the centrifuge directly affect the microhematocrit values. Errors can be caused if it is not spun at the correct speed.
Low iron levels can be seen in patients with anemia or chronic disease. Mostly people with chronic kidney disease will have low iron levels. Iron deficiency anemia is another condition with low iron levels. This can be treated with iron supplement. Fatigue and weakness is the most common symptoms people present when they have low serum iron levels.

capillary blood
A low sodium, low protein diet may be beneficial to patients with Fabry's disease who have some kidney complications.
Spun microhematocrit tubes are used to measure hematocrit levels, which represents the proportion of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. This test is helpful in diagnosing conditions such as anemia or dehydration, as well as monitoring an individual's response to treatment.

For a microhematocrit test, capillary blood, usually obtained from a finger or heel stick, is used. The blood sample is placed into a special capillary tube and spun in a centrifuge to separate the components, allowing for measurement of the packed cell volume (hematocrit).
