I just donated at a red cross yesterday. When I got the finger prick and she plugged the test thing into the machine the results were Hb hemoglobin, no mention of of HCT. my hb was at 17.9 she told me all they are concerned with is that
the hb is above 12.9 Nothing else at that point.
was high my last blood test so I was concerned I'd get turned away because of info off this board.
Maybe it's different in Texas but this is how it went for me at the red cross.
