What is PCV / Hematocrit?
- Definition: PCV or Hematocrit measures the percentage of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells.
- Function: It provides insights into the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and helps diagnose various conditions related to red blood cell production or destruction.
Why is PCV / Hematocrit Important?
- Oxygen Transport: Reflects the capacity of blood to carry oxygen to tissues and organs.
- Anemia Diagnosis: Helps diagnose different types of anemia based on the volume and concentration of red blood cells.
When is PCV / Hematocrit Measured?
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): PCV or Hematocrit is routinely measured as part of a CBC, which also includes parameters such as hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV).
- Anemia Evaluation: Specifically used to assess the proportion of red blood cells in relation to total blood volume to classify anemia as normocytic, microcytic, or macrocytic
