Hematocrit 01

The percentage of your blood made up of red cells. This shows how “thick” your blood is with red cells. Staying hydrated is one way you can improve your hematocrit levels.

Too low = potential anemia. Too high = possible dehydration or blood disorders.

What is anemia?

Imagine your blood is like a delivery service, with tiny “delivery trucks” called red blood cells. These trucks carry oxygen all over your body, like delivering packages to all your different organs and tissues.

Think of it this way:

• Fewer delivery trucks: If you don’t have enough red blood cells, fewer “delivery trucks” are available to carry oxygen.
• Less carrying capacity: If your red blood cells don’t have enough hemoglobin, they can’t carry as much oxygen as they should.
