Question: What change would i expect to occur in the hematocrit of a person who is dehydrated!?
Answers:
The hematocrit would go UP!.

The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is made up of red blood cells!. It's usually around 40, and should be approximately 3 times the Hemoglobin concentration (in grams per deciliter)!.

If the water content of the blood decreases during dehydration, then the concentration of red blood cells would Increase, causing an Increase in the Hematocrit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
