RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
Hematocrit is a percentage, so low hct with normal hgb levels could mean overhydration.
If you have a high hematocrit, your hemoglobin levels would likely be high as well. Hematocrit measures the volume of red blood cells in blood, while hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit often corresponds with an increase in hemoglobin levels.

If it is significantly low, this can be an indicator of anemia.
Low hemoglobin and low hematocrit are indicative of anemia.

Yes, low hematocrit can be very dangerous if it left untreated. Causes of this condition are bleeding, destruction of red blood cells, decreased production of the cells, and overhydrating.
The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is red blood cells so a low hematocrit usually means the red blood cells are low. The most common reason for this is increased blood loss, often from menstrual or gastrointestinal bleeding. It could also be from decreased production due to a bone marrow problem or vitamin or iron deficiency or some more unusual problems.

For a man, it isn't. For a woman it is a little high.
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.
