Normal ranges for packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentration in adults: relevance to 'apparent polycythemia'

: Published data from Europe and North America indicate that for non‐iron‐deficient adult Caucasian males, the normal mean packed cell volume (PCV) is 0.46 and the 2.5–97.5 percentile interval is04.0–0.53. Corresponding values for adult Caucasian females are: mean PCV 0.42; 2.5–97.5 percentile inter...

Zusammenfassung:	: Published data from Europe and North America indicate that for non‐iron‐deficient adult Caucasian males, the normal mean packed cell volume (PCV) is 0.46 and the 2.5–97.5 percentile interval is04.0–0.53. Corresponding values for adult Caucasian females are: mean PCV 0.42; 2.5–97.5 percentile interval 0.36–0.48. It is not usually appropriate to undertake studies of polycythemia in adult Caucasian males with PCV
