Hematocrit details

What Hematocrit shows

Hematocrit measures the percentage of your total blood volume that's made up of red blood cells, and it's one of the core values in a complete blood count (CBC), closely related to hemoglobin. Low hematocrit indicates anemia (too few red blood cells or too little hemoglobin), which can result from blood loss, nutritional deficiencies (like iron, B12, or folate), chronic disease, or bone marrow problems, and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. High hematocrit (polycythemia) can result from dehydration, chronic low oxygen levels (like from lung disease or living at high altitude), or, less commonly, a bone marrow disorder that overproduces red blood cells.
