The Complete Blood Count test measures the percentage of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample.
Packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample is called?
hematocrit
What test measurs percentage by volume of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample?
Hematocrit test measures the percentage by volume of packed red blood cells in a whole blood sample. It is used to evaluate the concentration of red blood cells in the blood and can help diagnose conditions such as anemia or dehydration.
How packed red cells preparation?
Packed red cells are prepared by removing most of the plasma from whole blood through a process called centrifugation. This centrifugation process separates the red blood cells from the plasma and other cellular components, resulting in a concentrated suspension of red blood cells. The packed red cells are then typically suspended in a small amount of saline solution before being transfused to a patient.

What is packed rbc?
Packed red blood cells (PRBCs), also called "packed cells," are a preparation of red blood cells that are transfused to correct low blood levels. A unit of PRBCs begins as a 450 milliliter volume of whole blood. Platelets and plasma are removed to leave a preparation of 220 milliliters of mostly red blood cells. This step concentrates the red blood cells so that they occupy less space, thus the term "packed." One unit of PRBCs typically will raise the hematocrit by 3-4% and the blood hemoglobin concentration by 1 gm/dl. PRBCs last in refrigeration for up to 42 days, but under the right conditions, they can be frozen for up to a decade.
