The hematocrit (Ht or HCT) or packed cell volume (PCV) or erythrocyte volume fraction (EVF) is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. It is normally about 46% for men and 38% for women.[1] It is considered an integral part of a person's complete blood count results, along with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and platelet count."

Thanks, that's it. I really appreciate your help.

Veronica, there is unfortunately no unit, but the value does fall within the reference range for hemocrit. I just had not seen it abbreviated like that before, even in Croatian.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Katarina, I appreciate your response. However, the abbreviation does correspond with a laboratory result, and the corresponding value falls within the reference range for hemocrit, so I think it does in fact stand for hemocrit. But thanks for your help.
