| Abstract | ||
| The study is designed to determine the differences between readings of hematocrit by the digital hematocrit reader and the standard centrifugation based hematocrit measuring instrument.75 individuals (25 healthy individuals, 25 anemic individuals and 25 polycythemic individuals), 38 males and 37 females with age range of 18-51 years, were studied after their consent. For each patient, 2 ml of venous blood sample was obtained for hematocrit measurement by the two different devices for comparison. Results showed that the digital hematocrit measures are less than that of the standard centrifugation based instrument in 69 out of 75 individuals i.e 92% which requires special attention during diagnosis or treatment and follow up. | ||
