    What is Haematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) Test?

    The Haematocrit test gauges the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood. Blood is composed of various components, such as RBCs, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. RBCs are vital for carrying oxygen from the lungs to other tissues in the body, while white blood cells assist in fighting infections, and platelets are critical for forming clots to stop bleeding. Plasma is the liquid portion of blood that transports these cells throughout the body.

    Abnormal haematocrit levels may indicate various medical conditions, including dehydration, anaemia, or other blood disorders. High haematocrit levels might suggest a condition known as polycythaemia, which is characterized by an excessive amount of RBCs, leading to thicker blood. Low haematocrit levels could be a sign of anaemia.

    This test is often part of a complete blood count, which is included in routine health assessments or ordered when symptoms are related to blood disorders.

    Haematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) Test Parameters

    The Haematocrit test, also called the Packed Cell Volume (PCV) test, evaluates one key parameter: the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) present in the blood.

    To determine the haematocrit, a blood sample is collected and placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speed. This spinning action separates the blood into three layers: RBCs at the bottom, a middle layer of white blood cells and platelets, and plasma on top. The height of the RBC layer is measured and compared to the overall height of all layers. The haematocrit value is expressed as a percentage of RBCs in the blood. By assessing this percentage, doctors can identify conditions such as anaemia or polycythaemia and guide the appropriate treatment.

    Haematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a Hb PCV test in Noida, consider the following:

    ● Prerequisites There is no need for fasting prior to the Hb PCV test.

    ● Best Time to Get Tested This test can be taken at any time throughout the day.

    ● Who Should Get a Haematocrit Test? A Hb PCV test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms of anaemia or dehydration, or for those undergoing treatments that may affect their RBC levels. It is also commonly included in routine health check-ups for overall health monitoring.

    ● Cautions Before Taking This Test No specific preparations are required before the Hb PCV test. However, it is a good idea to consult your doctor before the test to ensure it is appropriate for your situation.

    Why Take the Haematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) Test?

    A Hb PCV test is utilised to monitor ongoing health issues or as part of a routine health check-up. It may also be requested if symptoms suggest RBC disorders, such as anaemia and polycythaemia.

    Signs of anaemia include: ● Breathlessness ● Light-headedness ● Tiredness or weakness ● Irregular heart rhythms ● Headaches

    Signs of polycythaemia include: ● Blurred vision or visual disturbances ● Skin reactions such as itching after bathing, burning sensations, or a flushed face ● Dizziness or light-headedness ● Excessive sweating, especially at night ● Fatigue or weakness ● Breathlessness ● Headaches ● Bleeding gums or heavy bleeding from minor injuries

    Recognising these symptoms early through a haematocrit test is essential for effectively managing and treating underlying conditions

    • I am giving 5 stars to the services of Orange Lab. Sample collected at 7:00 am from my place and I received back reports on whats app at 9:34 am. I was surprised for that and also have doubts on Vit- D and Vit B12 tests results. I never got results for both the tests in approx 1.5 hous, becauce my sample reached to Lab approx 8:00 am. So I am happy to get results in a short time but have doubt on report results.
