HCT (hematocrit) and HGB (hemoglobin) are important components of a complete blood count that provide information about the blood's capacity to carry oxygen. HCT measures the percentage of blood volume that is made up of red blood cells, while HGB measures the concentration of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport. Normal levels can vary by age, sex, and altitude, but generally, HCT levels are around 38.3% to 48.6% for men and 35.5% to 44.9% for women, while normal HGB levels are approximately 13.8 to 17.2 grams per deciliter for men and 12.1 to 15.1 grams per deciliter for women. Abnormal levels may indicate various medical conditions, including anemia or dehydration.
