What is this test?

Red blood cells are made in your bone marrow, and are used to transport oxygen throughout your body. Low hematocrit can indicate anemia caused by a vitamin deficiency, blood loss, kidney disease, or bone marrow disorders. Elevated hematocrit can indicate lung disease, heart disease, dehydration, or kidney tumors.

This test is often done as part of a routine wellness exam, or to either screen for anemia or monitor its treatment. 

The Hematocrit Blood Test works by collecting a blood sample and measuring the percentage of red blood cells.

Complete blood count | Central Clinic

Complete blood count (CBC) is the most common type of study, which must be prescribed by a general practitioner. A general blood test allows you to get an idea of ​​the volume ratio of cellular elements and the liquid part of the blood (hematocrit), the content of certain types of blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets), hemoglobin concentration, the main characteristics of erythrocytes (erythrocyte indices). A complete blood count is one of the basic clinical tests.

Blood consists of a liquid part (plasma) and cellular, formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets). The composition and concentration of cellular elements in the blood change under various physiological and pathological conditions: dehydration, inflammation, bacterial or viral infections, disorders in the hematopoietic system, bleeding, intoxication, oncological diseases, etc. The study includes determining the concentration of hemoglobin, hematocrit, concentration erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, as well as the calculation of erythrocyte indices (MCV, RDW, MCH, MCHC).

How do I prepare for donating blood?

Blood is taken from a vein on an empty stomach, after 8-14 hours of overnight fasting (you can drink water), it is permissible in the afternoon 4 hours after a light meal. On the eve of the study, it is necessary to exclude increased psycho-emotional and physical activity (sports training), alcohol intake.

What indicators are looked at in the general blood test?

1. Hemoglobin (Hb, Hemoglobin) Hemoglobin is a respiratory blood pigment contained in erythrocytes and is involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The content of hemoglobin in the blood in men is slightly higher than in women. In children of the first year of life, a physiological decrease in the concentration of hemoglobin can be observed. A pathological decrease in blood hemoglobin (anemia) may be the result of increased losses during various types of bleeding, the result of an accelerated destruction of red blood cells, and a violation of the formation of red blood cells. Anemia can be both an independent disease and a symptom of a chronic disease.
2. Hematocrit (Ht, Hematocrit) Hematocrit is the percentage of all formed elements (quantitatively, mainly erythrocytes) of the total blood volume.
3. Platelets (PLT, Platelets) Platelets are non-nuclear cells that contain many active substances and some coagulation factors in their granules and on the surface that enter the blood when platelets are activated. Platelets are capable of aggregation (connecting to each other) and adhesion (sticking to a damaged vascular wall), which allows the formation of a temporary clot and stop bleeding in small vessels. Produced in red bone marrow. The lifespan of a platelet in the bloodstream is 7-10 days. A decrease in the number of platelets can occur both due to their increased consumption, and due to insufficient production. Clinical manifestations (increased bleeding, up to life-threatening conditions) occur when the platelet concentration is less than 50 * 10 ³ cells/µl.
4. Leukocytes (WBC, White Blood Cells) Leukocytes (white blood cells) are nucleated blood cells involved in the recognition and neutralization of foreign elements, the elimination of altered and decaying cells of one’s own body, various immune and inflammatory reactions. It is the basis of the body’s antimicrobial defenses. Formed in the red bone marrow and organs of the lymphatic system. There are different types of blood leukocytes, their functions and residence time in the circulating blood are different (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils). The study of the number of leukocytes is used in the diagnosis and monitoring of therapy for a wide variety of diseases.
5. Erythrocytes (RBC, Red Blood Cells) Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are highly specialized non-nuclear blood cells filled with a respiratory pigment – iron-containing protein hemoglobin. The main function of erythrocytes is the transport of oxygen. They are formed in the red bone marrow. The formation of red blood cells stimulates erythropoietin, which is synthesized in the kidneys (in increased amounts during hypoxia). For the normal synthesis of hemoglobin and the formation of red blood cells, vitamin B12 and folic acid are necessary, there must be a sufficient intake of iron. The normal lifespan of an erythrocyte in the bloodstream is 120 days. RBCs are destroyed in the spleen and reticuloendothelial system. Determination of the number of erythrocytes, in combination with the study of hemoglobin content, assessment of hematocrit and characterization of erythrocytes (erythrocyte indices) is used in the differential diagnosis of anemia.

• MCV (Mean Cell volume, mean volume of erythrocytes) A ​​calculated indicator reflecting the average volume of erythrocytes, which is used in the diagnosis of anemia (microcytic, macrocytic, normocytic). With severe anisocytosis (the presence of cells with different volumes), as well as the presence of a large number of erythrocytes with a changed shape, this indicator is of limited value.
• RDW (Red cell Distribution Width, distribution of erythrocytes by size) A calculated indicator that reflects the degree of anisocytosis (heterogeneity of erythrocytes by volume). Used for differential diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment of anemia of various origins.
• MCH (Mean Cell Hemoglobin, the average content of hemoglobin in erythrocytes) Calculated indicator reflecting the average content of hemoglobin in 1 cell (erythrocyte). It is used, like MCV, for the differential diagnosis of anemia.
• MCHC (Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration, the average concentration of hemoglobin in erythrocytes) The concentration index is a calculated indicator that reflects the average concentration of hemoglobin in erythrocytes. A sensitive indicator of changes in hemoglobin formation – in particular, with iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, and some hemoglobinopathies.

Blood test hematocrit

11/08/2022

Why is hematocrit measured?

The main purpose of the clinical analysis of blood is to evaluate a number of indicators of its composition, which make it possible to judge the presence or absence of any deviations from the norm. The main such indicators are: hemoglobin, the number of erythrocytes, platelets and leukocytes, as well as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (so-called ESR) and color index blood . Clinical interpretation of the hematocrit of blood analysis refers specifically to this kind of procedure. In addition to clinical analysis, an analysis of the composition of blood for the presence of antibodies in it and a biochemical analysis of blood are distinguished.

The standard blood composition test is a mandatory procedure for all major types of disease diagnosis. Deciphering the hematocrit of blood analysis allows you to directly monitor the course of the disease, to control pregnancy and prevention of a huge number of violations of the normal functioning of the body. The dynamics of the above indicators allows you to make a clinical picture of the disease. Of course, the task of deciphering the results of the analysis is entirely the responsibility of a professional doctor, however, the patient can make some idea of ​​the results on his own. This note will help you understand this issue.

How is hematocrit indicated in the complete blood count?

The first and most important parameter of the quality of the blood composition is hemoglobin, it is this substance that makes our blood red. But its most important function is the transfer of oxygen between various tissues and organs. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells – cells called erythrocytes. The most important indicator of the state of blood is hematocrit.

Hematocrit is a value that represents the ratio between the number of red blood cells and the volume of blood plasma . In the event of loss of blood , its level is markedly reduced. This figure is different for men and women. In addition to deciphering hematocrit, analysis blood shows the number of platelets. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting and their number is also indicated in the standard analysis form. As for lymphocytes and leukocytes. Then these little bodies function within the framework of the immune support system of our body.

Another constituent element of blood is granulocytes responsible for fighting various infections, allergens and sources of inflammation. We have listed only the most basic indicators, in a full transcript of the analysis blood takes into account a much larger number of them.
