What it is
Hematocrit is the amount of whole blood that is made up of red blood cells.[1]
Why it matters
It helps frame oxygen-carrying capacity together with hemoglobin and red blood cell count.[1]
What it affects
- Low or high hematocrit can reflect many contexts and is not interpreted alone.[1]
Interpretation traps
- BioConst does not interpret personal hematocrit values.[1]
