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).
