The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood volume occupied by red blood cells. In most labs the Hgb is Platelet Count (PLT) : This is the number of cells that plug up holes in your blood vessels and prevent bleeding. High values can occur with bleeding, cigarette smoking or excess production by the bone marrow.
