Blood Test

Poona Diagnostic Centre offers comprehensive blood testing services in Pune, ensuring accurate and reliable diagnostic results for a wide range of health conditions. One of the key parameters measured in a blood test is the Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, which indicates the total number of red blood cells present in a blood sample. Additionally, the Hematocrit (Hct), also known as Packed Cell Volume (PCV), is an essential component of the test, providing insights into the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells.

Understanding RBC Count:
  • RBC Function: Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues and removing carbon dioxide from the body.

  • Importance: Measuring RBC count helps evaluate overall oxygen-carrying capacity and detect conditions like anemia (low RBC count) or polycythemia (high RBC count).
What is Hematocrit (Hct) or Packed Cell Volume (PCV)?
  • Definition: Hematocrit is the percentage of blood volume made up of red blood cells.

  • Significance: It is a vital indicator of blood health and helps diagnose conditions such as dehydration, blood loss, or disorders like leukemia.

  • A low Hct/PCV may suggest anemia or nutritional deficiencies, while a high Hct can indicate dehydration or an increased risk of clotting.
Benefits of Blood Tests:
  • Comprehensive Health Analysis: Provides insights into red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, platelet count, and more.

  • Early Detection: Identifies potential health issues such as infections, inflammation, or chronic diseases at an early stage.

  • Monitoring and Diagnosis: Aids in the diagnosis of conditions like anemia, blood disorders, and chronic illnesses, and monitors the effectiveness of treatments.
