Summary Introduction

To review:

The level of hemoglobin when the hematocrit value is high.

Introduction:

Hematocrit basically represents the ratio of the volume of RBCs (red blood cells) to the blood’s total volume. Its value is expressed in percentage (%). Its value is comparatively high in men (45–52%) than in the women (37–48%). Hemoglobin is an oxygen carrying pigment enclosed in the RBCs, which varies from cell-to-cell.
