Hb vs Hct: Who’s in charge? – William Aird
William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, shared a post on X:
”Hb vs Hct: Who’s in charge?
Anemia?
Think Hb. Polycythemia?
Think Hct. At equipoise?
Dealer’s choice. (I lean Hb; call me an optimist)
Because O₂ delivery is a tradeoff: carrying capacity (Hb) vs flow (Hct).”
