Hematocrit Test
A Hematocrit Test measures the percentage of red blood cells in the blood. It's crucial for diagnosing conditions like anaemia, dehydration, and polycythaemia. During the Hematocrit Test, a blood sample is centrifuged, separating cells to provide an accurate red blood cell count. Regular testing is essential for effective health monitoring.
