Blood question?

Describe the hemotacrit reading of a person who have hemmorhaged.
Describe the relationship b/w hematocrit determination and hemoglobin determination?
What condition could increase the heatocrit reading?
Hematocrit is the portion of blood volume that is red blood cell. Blood is made up of red cells, white cell, and plasma. Hemoglobin is the part of the red cell that transport oxygen.
Hematocrit would be low if someone was losing blood. It would be giant if there be a large number of red cell produced by the body, along with some other disorders that I am not aware of sour the top of my head.
middle-of-the-road just after the hemorrhage but after decrease due to replacement of the lost volume of blood by plasma.
directly proportional.
dehydration, hypoproteinemia.
1. Immediately after an acute hemorrhage; the HCT (hematocrit) is still NORMAL because you are bleeding undamaged blood and the cells to fluid ratio have not yet re-equalibrated. (the HCT is a ratio of cell (red) to liquid plasma--if you are losing surrounded by an equal ratio (bleeding) the ratio does not change immediately).
2. The HCT is 3 times the HGB; HCT is # of cell as a ratio to the liquid and the HGB is the actual Oxygen carrying molecules.
3. The hematocrit can rise through 2 mechanism: loss of fluid only (dehydration), or proliferation of red cell (polycythemia)
