Hemoglobin abbreviation Hgb
Hematocrit recorded value % (percent)
Hemoglobin recorded value g/dL
Hematocrit to Hemoglobin comparison Hct is approximately 3 times greater than Hgb or Hgb is approximately 1/3 of Hct. (Eg. Hct of 33% = Hgb of 11 g/dL)
Hematocrit definition The percentage of red blood cells in a sample
Buffy coat The thin light colored line above the red blood cells after a blood sample has been centrifuged in a capillary tube
What diagnostic term may be used if the hematocrit and hemoglobin are below normal range? Anemia
What diagnostic term may be used if the Hct and Hgb are above the normal limits? Polycythemia vera
