I really need help with these!!!! Please!  ???

 Hemoglobin Determination
1. Is the male with polycythemia (sample 4) deficient in hemoglobin? Why? ___No because it was above the normal range. _____________________________ ______

2. How did the hemoglobin levels for the female Olympic athlete (sample 5) compare with the hemoglobin levels for the healthy female (sample 2)? Is either person deficient in hemoglobin? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ___________
3. List conditions in which hemoglobin levels would be expected to decrease. Provide reasons for the change when possible.

5. Describe the ratio of hematocrit to hemoglobin for the healthy male (sample 1) and female (sample 2). (A normal ratio of hematocrit to grams of hemoglobin is approximately 3:1.) Discuss any differences between the two individuals. ________

6. Describe the ratio of hematocrit to hemoglobin for the female with iron-deficiency anemia (sample 3) and the female Olympic athlete (sample 5).

Hemoglobin levels decrease in patients with anemia, hyperthyroidism, cirrhosis of the liver, renal disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and severe hemorrhage.

The normal hematocrit value for a healthy person is approximately

A normal hematocrit value is ~45%.
