Hämokriten

Hämokriten is a Swedish term that translates to "blood testers" or "blood counters." It refers to medical professionals, typically laboratory technicians or biomedical scientists, who specialize in hematology. Their primary role involves performing a wide range of tests on blood samples to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions.

These tests can include measuring the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as determining hemoglobin levels and hematocrit. Hematocrit itself, often referred to as packed cell volume, is the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells. Hämokriten are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of these crucial diagnostic measurements.

Their work is essential for identifying anemias, infections, leukemia, and many other hematological disorders. They utilize sophisticated laboratory equipment and adhere to strict quality control procedures to produce accurate results that physicians rely on for patient care. The field of hematology is vital, and the skills of a hämokriten are indispensable in modern medicine.
