The Haematocrit Test is a blood test that measures the proportion of red blood cells (RBCs) in your total blood volume. Haematocrit is expressed as a percentage and helps assess the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Abnormal levels may indicate conditions such as anaemia, dehydration, blood loss or certain bone marrow disorders.
At healthcare nt sickcare in Pune, the haematocrit test is commonly performed as part of routine health checks or when symptoms suggest blood or hydration imbalance. Blood samples can be collected through our Home Collection Facility across Pune or via Direct Walk-in Facility, following standard laboratory protocols.
