Furthermore, the level of hematocrit (HCT) was also diminished by roughly 15% in Ko + Pb mice, compared to that in Wt + Pb mice (Table 1), and the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in Ko + Pb mice was elevated by approximately 15% and 21%, compared to that in Ko − Pb mice and Wt + Pb mice, respectively (Table 1; P < 0.05).

We calculated the loss of blood and extent of hemodilution during and after surgery based on the Hct levels for nontransfused patients (Table 1). Hct was significantly decreased (by approximately 20%, P = 0.0087) and hemodilution was significantly increased (P = 0.007) in these patients. PubMed:27308950
On the other hand, an abnormally high hematocrit is associated with thrombosis, and patients with polycythemia vera or taking erythropoietin are more susceptible to thrombosis and thromboembolism [4, 5]. PubMed:28458720

High hematocrit results in an increase in blood viscosity that impedes the blood flow [6, 7]. PubMed:28458720

The hematocrit-related blood viscosity may have physical effects on the interaction between platelets and blood vessel surfaces.Under flow conditions, platelet adhesion increases greatly with hematocrit. PubMed:28458720
