The formula to calculate the Hematocrit (HCT) is:
\[ HCT = \frac{RBC \times MCV}{10} \]
Where:
Let's say the red blood cell percentage (\( RBC \)) is 45% and the mean corpuscular volume (\( MCV \)) is 90. Using the formula:
\[ HCT = \frac{45 \times 90}{10} \]
We get:
\[ HCT = 405 \]
So, the Hematocrit (\( HCT \)) is 405.
HCT, short for hematocrit, is a blood test performed to determine the number of red blood cells in someone's blood. It is an important measure for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
Definition: Converts hematocrit (HCT) to hemoglobin (HGB) using a standard ratio.
Formula: \( HGB = \frac{HCT}{3} \)
Example: \( HGB = \frac{45}{3} \)
Definition: Calculates hematocrit (HCT) from hemoglobin (HGB) using a standard ratio.
Formula: \( HCT = HGB \times 3 \)
Example: \( HCT = 15 \times 3 \)
Definition: The unit of measure for hematocrit (HCT) is a percentage (%).
Definition: Converts hematocrit (HCT) to hemoglobin (HGB) using a standard ratio.
Formula: \( HGB = \frac{HCT}{3} \)
Example: \( HGB = \frac{42}{3} \)
Definition: Calculates the confidence interval (CI) for hematocrit (HCT) values.
Formula: \( CI = HCT \pm Z \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \)
Example: \( CI = 45 \pm 1.96 \times \frac{5}{\sqrt{30}} \)
Definition: The normal range for hematocrit (HCT) values.
Formula: \( \text{Normal Range} = 36\% \text{ to } 48\% \) for women and \( 40\% \text{ to } 54\% \) for men.
