Answer

Packed cell volume (PCV) or haematocrit (Hct) is a measure of the percentage of red blood cells to the total blood volume.

32.7 is marginally lower than normal; a low haematocrit may indicate anaemia, blood loss, bone marrow failure, leukaemia, multiple myeloma, nutritional deficiency, over-hydration or rheumatoid arthritis.

The normal haematocrit range for adult males is 40-50 per cent, and 36-46 per cent for adult females
