In practice, anemia most commonly is defined by reductions in one or both of the following:. Hematocrit (HCT) – The HCT is the fractional volume of a whole blood sample occupied by RBCs, expressed as a percentage. As an example, the normal HCT in a child age 6 to 12 years is approximately 40 percent.. a sign . of an underlying . disorder. There are several kinds of anemia. .
