Steady state hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume in homozygous sickle cell disease patients in Lagos, Nigeria

Background: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atte...

A micro-haematocrit for determining the packed cell volume and haemoglobin concentration on capillary blood.

Gruneberg, 1942; Meyerstein, 1942; Smith, 1944; Harris, Gilding, and Smart, 1951 ; Sabine and Nickolai, 1952) and those open at both ends (Gram and Norgaard, 1923; Van Allen, 1925a and b; Guest, 1938 ; Kato, 1938 and 1940; Miller, 1939 Hamre, 1940; Benditt, Straube, and Humphreys, 1946; Shils, Sass, and Goldwater, 1952). All these tubes suffer from drawbacks either in design or method of use. A...

Relationship between haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume in cattle blood samples.

A convention that has been adopted in medicine is to estimate haemoglobin (HB) concentration as a third of packed cell volume (PCV) or vice versa. The present research set out to determine whether a proportional relationship exists between PCV and Hb concentration in cattle blood samples, and to assess the validity of the convention of estimating Hb concentration as a third of PCV. A total of 4...
