Hematocrit is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. A high hematocrit level may indicate dehydration, polycythemia, or other conditions that increase red blood cell production. Conversely, a low hematocrit level can suggest anemia, blood loss, or bone marrow disorders. Abnormal hematocrit levels can provide important insights into a person's overall health and should be evaluated in conjunction with other clinical findings.
