A hematocrit measures the percentage of blood that is comprised of RBC’s and can determine a needed transfusion. Fluid volume in the blood affects hematocrit values. Hematocrit levels rise with an increase in the number of RBC’s or a decrease in the plasma volume. An elevated hematocrit is most often associated with severe burns‚ diarrhea‚ and dehydration‚ where water in tissues decreases. The low level of plasma water concentrates the RBC’s leading to the condition‚ hemoconcentration. An elevated

Findings Analysis to determine the sex of our case study AFA was done using a physical exam karyotyping and PCR-based sex testing. The results from our physical exams on AFA showed well-developed female external genitalia‚ presence of breasts‚ no menstrual cycle‚ and no facial or chest hair. This led to a conclusion that AFA is a sterile female. The results from the Karyotype Analysis showed presence of 22 pairs of autosomes chromosomes and two X’s revealing that she is female. Lastly the PCR-based

Information Clearinghouse What are the laboratory tests for anemia? A complete blood count (CBC)‚ a laboratory test performed on a sample of blood‚ includes a determination of a person’s hematocrit‚ the percentage of the blood that consists of red blood cells. The CBC also measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. The range of normal hematocrit and hemoglobin in women who have a period is slightly lower
