According to my lab book, hematocrit is not capitalized.  I know docs make up words all the time, but according to all of my books, no capitalization for hematocrit at all.  Hope that helps you.

hematocrit capitalization
Subject: hematocrit capitalization

I swear I read somewhere that Hematocrit should be capitalized.  I know Hemoccult is capitalized, but......have I lost my mind?  Did anyone else ever run across Hematocrit being capped.  For the reason that machinery in the lab is called Hematocrit and therefore they are defaulting to capitalizing it?  If not, I am dreaming about transcription and making up rules (again hahaha)

Subject: an hematocrit with that value is low....kinda sorta

Hemoglobin and hematocrit are like 14 and 42.....hematocrit is supposed to be about 3 times the hemoglobin.......so I presume dictator is speaking about the hematocrit....and so if the hematocrit is 36 then the hemoglobin is 11-12........and these are slightly low...


hence, anemia.......

you have it correct! hemoglobin A1c over 12
Subject: you have it correct! hemoglobin A1c over 12

Most people/clients don't want us using the greater than or less than signs < and/or > - it IS client preference so read your CP first but the dictator said hemoglobin A1c over 12 and that's what I'd give the dictator.
