background & aim: preeclampsi which is a common and important disorder in pregnancy is one of the three leading causes of maternal mortality. it is worthy to find out an appropriate screening test for it. this study aimed to assess serum hematocrit level as a screening test for preeclampsia. methods & materials: using a randomized stratification, 660 women who were in the 24-28 weeks of gestati...

Cigarettes have a bad impact on health, one of which is the most fundamental to blood, that hematocrit. The goal research were comparing and correlating cigarettes with hematocrit,used cross sectional design in Mulyasari Subang Village, West Java, 55 male respondents. Respondents who smoked 27 people. Smoking duration 15.93 years ± 7.54. type filters, 55.6%. hematocrit value 61.8% low category,...

An electromagnetic flowmeter system that has an accuracy of 0.1% and is insensitive to fluid conductivity was used to study the sensitivity to steady flow of a 6-mm cannular transducer. All measurements were carried out at 37°C. Sensitivity decreased with increasing hematocrit value whether flow was laminar or otherwise. With laminar flow and a given hematocrit value, the sensitivity also decre...

Failling hematocrit values are traditionally used to observe the course of active bleeding, since hematocrit values usually reflect acute blood losses. However, evidence from the literature suggests that, after volume replacement, some degree of normovolemic hemodilution may be desirable and that return to normal hematocrit values is not necessarily the appropriate goal of transfusion therapy. ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of low, normal, and high hematocrit levels on glucose meter measurements and to assess the clinical risks of hematocrit errors. DESIGN Changes in glucose measurements between low and high hematocrit levels were calculated to determine hematocrit effects. The differences between glucose measured with meters and with a plasma glucose method (YSI 2300) also we...

INTRODUCTION Measurement and monitoring of blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients with portable glucose meters (PGMs) is performed widely and is an essential part of diabetes monitoring, despite the increasing evidence of several interferences which can negatively bias the accuracy of measurements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hematocrit on the analytical p...
