September Hemoglobin 13.2-16.6 7.6 g/dL Deviation. Hemoglobin values
23, 2021 g/dL lower than the normal range
(13.2-16.6 g/dL) indicate a sign
of anemia which may be
caused by several factors like
bleeding, kidney disease or
hypothyroidism.

Hematocrit 38.3- 4.4% Deviation. Patient’s hematocrit
48.6% value is significantly decreased
compared to the normal range
(38.3-48.6%), which indicates
that the percentage of the
patient’s RBCs is lesser than
the accepted range. However,
certain causes like severe
