Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The microhematocrit (HCT) values of 59 subjects increased significantly in the sitting position and after moderate exercise, in comparison with the values obtained during recumbency. The consumption of an 800-calorie meal decreased the HCT and this effect lasted for six hours. In order to obtain comparable results blood for HCT should be taken in a "standard basal condition" in the morning hours, in the fasting state or after a light breakfast, and the patient should sit for at least 30 minutes before the blood specimen is taken.
