Hct usually refers to the erythrocyte specific volume, when a small amount of the body’s blood after centrifugal precipitation, can be related to the technical means to determine the volume of red blood cells to the whole blood. To a certain extent, the hematocrit value can also reflect the volume and number of red blood cells in the body, and assist in diagnosing the type of anemia and the severity of the disease.
Increased erythrocyte hematocrit is most common in people with massive burns, diarrhea, and chronic cardiopulmonary diseases. People living in the highland areas of China may also have increased erythrocyte specific volume, but without other obvious symptoms. Reduced erythrocyte specific volume is often seen in various types of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia.
If there is any abnormality in the hematocrit value during daily examination, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment plan after relevant examination.
