RE: Fusion of Twins and The Effects of Blood Transfusion

in #stemng7 years ago (edited)

Well, they told me that I could donate two pints which amounted to two units of blood which I guess is the 450ml you mentioned. But the only other liquid I have heard associated with a pint was beer. Maybe my vocabulary is poor but that's it :)

I haven't even taken the time to find out exactly what 1 pint is in terms of metric measurement. I guess Google would help

I didn't know hematocrit until the lab attendant told me, "Yours is 52%"

"Huh. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" I asked.

"Good."

Well, Google told me the rest:)

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog. It means a lot to me.

By the way, I found something stupid on your post even though it took a while :)

Sort:  

I am trying to hide one stupidity / unrelated stuff on each post. :)

I think hematocrit has to do with percentage red blood cell in your blood.

Yeah, the volume of red blood cell to the total volume of blood. If i am right though

This is indeed what google tells us :)

Did not check though, my project work during my undergraduate days was based on haematology.
