Medical Procedure

Hematocrit Test:
Hematocrit (he-MAT-uh-krit) is the total volume of red blood cells in your body. Hematocrit (Hct) test determines whether the red blood cell count in your body is deficit or surplus. RBCs or erythrocytes (uh-RITH-roe-sites), are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout a human body.
A hematocrit test is segment of a complete blood count (CBC). The proportion of RBCs compared with total blood cells. It helps doctors to make a diagnosis or monitor your body's acceptance to a treatment.

Haemoglobin Test:
This test is to measure the proportion of haemoglobin in your blood. Haemoglobin is a form of protein that is present in RBCs responsible for carrying oxygen to the organs & tissues and taking carbon dioxide from them back to lungs. Normal level of haemoglobin should be: In Male 13.5 to 17.5 grms per decilitre and in Female 12.0 to 15.5 grms per deciliter. If your haemoglobin is lower than the normal level, it indicates that you have Anaemia (Low RBC count).

Prothrombin time Test:
Aprothrombin time test determines how fast your blood clots. It is also known as Pro time test or PT Test. Prothrombin is a protein manufactured by liver that helps in blood clotting. In case of any injury, prothrombin protein starts a chain of action that results in clotting to stop the bleeding. One of the steps of this process is prothrombin transforming into thrombin. The PT test calculates the time taken for the whole process and how well it works.
