Hematocrit
Hematocrit is a clinical biomarker on the Blood panel, reported in %. Standard reference range: Male 38.5–50 · Female 35.5–44.9 %. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: Male 40–48 · Female 37–44 %.
What is Hematocrit?
Hematocrit represents the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells; it parallels hemoglobin and is used to diagnose anemia, polycythemia, and assess hydration status.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (%) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | Male 38.5–50 · Female 35.5–44.9 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | Male 40–48 · Female 37–44 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Hematocrit
SomaVue maps every result for Hematocrit against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
