This is a complicated question, as the hematocrit in children changes rapidly as the child ages, with normals dropping to their potential lowest (average of 35) when the child is around 2-3 months old, and then climbing and stabilizing slowly from there. You'll notice how the "normal" parameters begin to narrow as the child grows older.
At birth, the normal range of hematocrit can be anywhere from 42 to 64.
After birth up until 1 month of age, the "normal" range is between 31 and 67.
Between 1 to 2 months, the normal range is between 28 to 55.
Between 2 and 6 months, the normal range is between 28 and 42.
Between 6 months to two years, the normal range is 33 to 40.
Between 2 to 6 years the normal range is between 34 to 40.
Between 6 to 12 years, the normal range is between 35 to 45.
For females between ages 12 and 18, the normal range is between 36 to 46.
For males between ages 12 and 18, the normal range is between 37 and 49.
(These values may be slightly different at various hospitals depending on the equipment used to measure the hematocrit and the established "normal" ranges by the lab resulting the specimens.)
The normal hematocrit level for men is typically between 41 to 50.
Normal Hematocrit for Men is 41-53%Normal for Female is 36-46%
The normal hematocrit value for a healthy male living at sea level in Boston is typically between 42% to 54%. This value may vary slightly depending on the laboratory reference range used. Hematocrit is a measure of the proportion of red blood cells in the blood, and values outside the normal range may indicate an underlying medical condition.
Hematocrit is a percentage, so low hct with normal hgb levels could mean overhydration.
"Normal" values of the Hematocrit are considered to be Adult male . . . 39 - 54% Adult female . . . 34 - 47% Child . . . 30 - 42% . If the results of any blood test concern you, you can get the full story from a doctor.
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.

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.
A hematocrit of 27.7 in an adult female is low, but is not considered a critical level requiring emergency contact and follow-up.
The expected range for hematocrit is 3 times the hemoglobin level, so with a hemoglobin of 12.0 g/dL, the expected hematocrit range would be around 36-40%.
Hematocrit is a measure of the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells (RBCs). Therefore, it's represented as a percentage. The normal hematocrit for men is 46% with minor fluctuations between individuals labs.
