You are assessing a 44-year-old female patient who presents to the clinic with fatigue. The physician ordered blood work. When you evaluate this patient's lab results, you notice the following results: Hgb: 9 g/dL WBC: 9,500 Hct: 33% Platelets:...
Hemoglobin(Hb or Hgb). This is the protein in your blood that holds oxygen. Hematocrit (Hct).This test tells how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells. A low score may be a sign that you don’t have enough iron, the mineral that helps your body make red blood cells. ...
You need to know hemoglobin (Hgb) in g/dL and hematocrit (Hct) in percents (%). Divide hemoglobin by the hematocrit. MCHC = Hgb / Hct. Multiply it with 100 so it comes in a widely used unit g/dL. The final equation is: MCHC [g/dL] = (Hgb [g/dL] / Hct [%]) × 100.Re...
