People with low levels of hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (HCT) in their blood will often suffer from a condition called anemia. If the Hgb levels should fall to the low side, there will not be enough oxygen throughout the body or in the organs. This can cause difficulties in how efficiently the body runs itself.iguring out hematocrit levels in the blood is done through Mean Corpuscular Volume or MCV and Red Cell Distribution Width or RDW. These tests determine whether someone is suffering from low Hgb and/or low HCT levels in their blood and can help doctors determine a cause.
