PACKED CELL VOLUME (PCV) OR HAEMATOCRIT
• PCV is defined as ratio of volume of RBCs to that of
whole blood and is expressed as percentage
• Methods for Estimation of PCV
1. Macro method (Wintrobe’s method)
2. Micro haematocrit method (capillary tube 75mmx1mm)
3. Electronic method
NORMAL: 40-50% males
38-45 %- females
36-42%- pregnant ladies
RULE OF 3 and 9
Hb (gm/dl) x 3 = PCV
RBC (million/cmm) x 9 = PCV
Macro (Wintrobe’s) Method
Procedure
• Fill the Wintrobe tube upto mark 10 with well mixed
anticoagulated blood (EDTA) by Pasteur’s pipette free
of air bubbles.
• Centrifuge the tube at 2000-2300 g for 30 minutes.
• After centrifugation layers are noted in the wintrobe
tube
• i. Uppermost layer of plasma.
• ii. Thin white layer of platelets.
• iii. Greyish-pink layer of leucocytes.
• iv. Lowermost is the layer of RBCs.
• Note the lowermost height of column of packed RBC
layer and express it as percentage.
Advantages of Macro Method
• i. PCV and ESR can be
measured simultaneously.
• ii. Buffy coat can be
prepared for other tests.
• iii. By seeing the colour of
plasma we can know about
some of the pathological
conditions
• Jaundice it is yellow,
• Haemolysis it is pink,
• Hyperlipidaemia it is milky

• 75mm length
• 1mm internal diameter
• Plain or heparinised
• Tube sealed with plastic sealant,
modelling clay or heat
• Centrifuged at 12000 g for 5
mins
ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE
• It is defined as rate of
sedimentation of RBC in 1 hour
STAGES of ESR
• Phase of rouleaux formation:
Initial period of 10 minutes,
• Phase of settling: In the next 40
minutes, settling of RBCs occurs at
a constant rate. „
• Phase of packing: Last 10 minutes
sedimentation slows and packing
of the RBCs to the bottom occurs
• FACTORS INCREASING ESR
• Anemia (less negative charge – low
zeta potential)
• Macrocytosis
• Elevated fibrinogen
• High temperature
• Tilted tube
• FACTORS DECREASING ESR
• Polycythemia
• Microcytes sickle cells spherocytes
• Low fibrinogen
• Vibration
• Anticoagulant –3.8% Tri Sodium
citrate
• 4ml blood & 1 ml anticoagulant
– 4:1 ratio
• Iit is measured as length of the
plasma column in mm when a
vertical column of blood is kept
undisturbed for one hour
Methods of ESR
• 1. Westergren’s method
• 2. Wintrobe’s method
• 3. Micro ESR method- capillary
tube used
• 4. Automated methods
NORMAL VALUES
• Males 0-15 mm 1st hour
• Females 0-20 mm 1st hour
WESTERGREN’S TUBE
• Pipette with both ends open
• Long tube- 300mm length
• Markings on lower 2/3 from 0 to
200, from top to bottom
• Internal diameter 2.55mm
• Tubes are placed in stands in
which series of rubber discs are
attached
Procedure
• The patient is advised to come in the morning fasting (as
heavy protein diet affects concentraton of plasma proteins).
• Take 1.6 ml of patient’s blood and mix it with 0.4 ml of
citrate anticoagulant already put in a tube.
• Fill the pipette upto mark O with citrated blood with the
help of rubber teat by vacuum filling and fix it in a rack
vertically away from sun light or vibrations
• Let it stand for one hour after which reading is taken at the
upper meniscus of the RBCs.
ADVANTAGES
• i. It is a more sensitive method.
• ii. It is easy to fill and clean the Westergren’s pipette
