Your hematocrit measures the amount of red blood cells circulating in your body as a percentage of total blood volume. Around 38% is normal for women; 48% for men.

All that hematocrit results mean is how much of your blood density is taken up by red blood cells. A Low result can mean hemorrhaging, and a high count can mean any number of conditions.

Blood test which measures the ratio of the volume occupied by packed red blood cells to the volume of the whole blood.
