A member asked:

Just got blood work results from being admitted 2 hospital. what does it mean to have low hematocrit with normal rbc? hema (36.6 ) rbc (4.27)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anemia: A low hematocrit is termed "anemia" which can have many causes - there are many other indices in your bloodwork needed for a proper interpretation. 36.6 is not a very low value so don`t be worried but ask your doctor :)
