The hematocrit (Ht or HCT, British English spelling haematocrit), also known as packed cell volume (PCV) or erythrocyte volume fraction (EVF), is the volume percentage (%) of red blood cells in blood. It is normally 45% for men and 40% for women. It is considered an integral part of a person's complete blood count results, along with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and platelet count.
A platelet count is used to detect the number of platelets in the blood. The test is included in a complete blood count (CBC) , a panel of tests often performed as part of a general health examination. Platelets are tiny fragments of cells that are essential for normal blood clotting.A platelet count may be used to screen for or diagnose various diseases and conditions that can cause problems with clot formation.n excess of platelets can cause excessive clotting or sometimes bleeding if the platelets are not functioning properly. However, people with too many platelets often have no signs or symptoms, so the condition may be found only when a platelet count is done as part of a health check or for other reasons.
