Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin
MCH formula |
MCH = (Hemoglobin*10)/ red cell count
|
|
|
Define MCH
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin |
determines the amount of hemoglobin relative to the individual size of the red cell count.

MCHC formula |
MCHC = (hemoglobin*100)/ Hematocrit
|
|
|

|
Mean Corpuscular volume
MCV formula |
MCV = (hematocrit*10)/ Red cell count
|
|
|
Define MCV
|
measures the volume of the red cell and is the equivalent to the size of the red cell
|
|
|
Normal values for MCV
|
Newborn 98-108 fl
Adult 80-100 fl |

|
|
Define
Hematopoiesis |
a process of formation, proliferation, differentiation,a nd maturation of the various types of blood cells
|
|
|
Define
Erythorpoiesis |
production of redcells from nucleated to non nucleated fully mature red cell.
|
|
|
Define
Leukopoiesis |
production and maturation of granulocytes, esoinophils, monocytes, basophils.

What is macrocytic normochromic anemia
|
large red cell size and normal size hemoglobin
MCV> 100fl and MCHC = 32-36% |

|
small red cell with decreased hemoglobin.
MCV<80fl and MCHC <32% |
|

|
|
What is Differential Ranges for Band
Segs Lymphocytes Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils |
Band -0-6%
Segs - 40-75% Lymphocytes - 22-40% Monocytes 1-10% Eosinophils - 1-7% Basophils - 0-2% |
|
|
What is erythrocyte sedimentation rate
ESR |
the ESR is the distance in milimeters that red cells fall per unit of time, which is usually 1 hour.
The rate of sedimentation is directionly proportional to the red cell mass and inversely proportional to plasma viscosity |
|
|
What are the values for ESR
|
Newborn 0-2 mm/hr
Male 0-15 mm/hr Female 0-20 mm/hr |
