A member asked:

Is a hematocrit test a significant way to determine whether a patient is iron deficient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: A hematocrit that is low may indicate iron deficiency. However, some people have normal iron stores and a low hematocrit as well. More tests would be in order.
