Neonatal hematocrit at 2 h of life (614.9 vs 61.64.5%) and 18 h of life (56.94.1 vs 56.23.9%) was not significantly different between the two groups. This was also true for neonatal polycythemia (20 vs 23.5%).

 


Hematocrit
Measure of the number of red blood cells in the blood. This number is actually a percentage of the blood volume that is composed of red blood cells.

hematocrit - the measurement of the percentage of red blood cells found in a specific volume of blood.
hemoglobin - a type of protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues of the body.

hematocrit (PCV, packed cell volume) - measures the number of red blood cells present in a sample of blood. Low levels of red blood cells (anemia) are common in people with inflammatory arthritis and rheumatic diseases.

hematocrit - the percentage of red blood cells in a sample of blood; blood also consists mainly of plasma (water and proteins) and two other cellular components, white blood cells and platelets.

Hematocrit: Determines the proportion of blood cells to plasma. Important in diagnosing anemia.
Hemoglobin: Pigment in red blood cell that carries oxygen to body tissues.
Hemolytic disease: Destruction of red blood cells.

Hematocrit
Percentage of red cells in whole blood.
Hemoglobin
The chemical in red blood cells carrying oxygen to the tissues. The hemoglobin level is measured as grams of hemoglobin per 100 milliliters of blood.

Hematocrit - A test that is used to measure the percent of red cells relative to the amount of plasma in a sample of blood. If the level of hematocrit in the blood is low, an individual will be diagnosed with anemia.

Slang for hematocrit. It is a test used to determine the percentage of red blood cells compared to total blood volume. It is commonly used to test for anemia.

If that wasn't enough, a couple of hours after the baby's blood tests came back, we found out that she had a dangerously high hematocrit. They whisked her away to remove some of her blood.

Hemoconcentration results in a modest increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Both contribute to an elevation of BUN, usually >12 mg%. Uric acid is typically >5.5 mg% due to increased production in association with peripheral vascular sluggishness.
