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.
