How a patient responds to a low hematocrit depends on whether the blood loss is acute or chronic. If a person with a normal blood cell volume loses blood suddenly through a massive hemorrhage, the person may develop signs and symptoms of circulatory shock; the blood pressure will fall and the patient will show signs of tissue hypoxia and shock. However, a person with chronically low hemoglobin, such as a patient on renal dialysis, may tolerate abnormally low hemoglobin. A major reason for anemia in patients with renal failure is lack of erythropoetin to stimulate bone marrow production.
