Is there a connection between hematocrit and peripheral edema?
Yes, there can be a connection between hematocrit levels and peripheral edema. Higher hematocrit levels may lead to increased blood viscosity, which can impair circulation and contribute to the development of peripheral edema. In conditions like polycythemia, where hematocrit levels are elevated, the risk of peripheral edema may be increased.
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
Does malaria cause hematocrit and platelets to drop?

How does an individuals hematocrit correlate to the erythrocyte count?
Hematocrit is the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells, while erythrocyte count refers to the total number of red blood cells in a specific volume of blood. They are related but not directly correlated, as hematocrit is a proportion and erythrocyte count is an absolute number. Changes in one can affect the other, but they are not always directly proportional.
