Understanding Hematocrit in Jalandhar


What is Hematocrit in Jalandhar?

The Hematocrit test measures the proportion of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood. This test helps detect blood disorders and other medical conditions. It is often done as part of a complete blood count test that also measures other types of blood cells. The Hematocrit test is available at an affordable price in Jalandhar with Tata 1mg labs. 

Abnormal HCT levels can indicate various health issues including anemia, dehydration or, polycythemia vera (excess of RBCs). No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine.  

 

What does Hematocrit measure?

The Hematocrit test measures the proportion of red blood cells (RBCs) in your blood as a percentage of the total blood volume. It is a crucial part of a complete blood count (CBC) and helps in assessing your blood health. RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body. The hematocrit test provides valuable information about your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Higher-than-normal amounts of RBCs produced by the bone marrow can cause the hematocrit to increase, leading to increased blood density and slow blood flow. On the other hand, lower-than-normal hematocrit can be caused by low production of RBCs, reduced lifespan of RBCs in circulation, or excessive bleeding, leading to a reduced amount of oxygen being transported by RBCs. Monitoring your hematocrit levels is essential for diagnosing and managing various blood-related disorders.

Several factors can affect the results of the Hematocrit test, including pregnancy, living at high altitudes, significant blood loss, recent blood transfusion, and severe dehydration.

Q. Is there any risk associated with the Hematocrit test?

There is usually no risk associated with this test.

Rarely some people may experience slight swelling or bruising at the site of the needle prick. Applying ice 3-4 times a day for about a week may help reduce swelling and bruising. If it does not get better, consult your doctor.
