==Overview==
* Diminished oxygen saturation but the [[pH]] and [[pCO2]] are normal
[[Polycythemia]] may be present in the patient with Tetralogy of Fallot. Thrombocytopenia and coagulation defects may also be present.


==Hematocrit==
* [[Hematocrit]] ranges from 65% to 70% in patients with tetralogy of Fallot
The [[hematocrit usually ranges from 65% to 70% in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot.


==Platelet Count==
* [[Low platelet count]]  
Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot may also have a low [[platelet count]] .


==Coagulation Factors==
* Lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of [[fibrinogen]]
Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot may have lower than normal coagulation factors, including lower than normal levels of [[fibrinogen]]. The [[prothrombin time]] ([[PT]]) may be prolonged.
* Prolonged [[prothrombin time]] ([[PT]])
