Dr. Zhang Heyang
Low hematocrit is usually first seen in patients with anemia. These patients often show low hematocrit levels when undergoing blood tests. Second, hematocrit may also be low when a patient's blood is diluted. Clinically, these are the two main causes currently recognized. Patients diagnosed with low hematocrit are advised to follow medical guidance for appropriate treatment.
