|
RBC |
Men: 4.7 - 6.1 Women: 4.2 - 5.4
Can be micro/macrocytic |
|
|
Hgb |
O2 carrying capacity of RBC
Men: 13.5 - 18 Women: 12 - 16
Anemia: Mild 10 - 14, moderate 6 - 10, severe <6 |
|
|
Hct |
RBCs as a %
Men: 40 - 54% Women: 38 - 47% |
|
|
MCV (Mean Corpuscle Volume) |
Relative size of RBC - microcytic/macrocytic |
|
|
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) |
Average wt of Hgb per RBC in a sample of blood |
|
|
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) |
Measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of PRBC |
|
|
WBC |
5,000 - 10,000 (also seen as 5 - 10) |
|
|
Neutrophills |
55 - 70%
Segs/polys - fully mature Bands/stabs - less mature |
|
|
Lymphocytes |
Increase with viral infection
T & B cells |
|
|
Monocytes |
Phagocytosis |
|
|
PLT |
150,000 - 400,000 (also seen as 150 - 400) |
|
|
Bilirubin |
Increased with hemolytic problems
Relects liver function |
|
|
Haptoglobin |
Detects intravascular hemolysis
Decreased with hemolytic disorders, transfusion reactions, liver disease, and bleeding
Increased with tissue damage, some infections, connective tissue disease, and a variety of other disorders |
|
|
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) |
Also referred to as "sed rate"
Generic inflammatory marker |
|
|
Iron |
Serum iron - amount of Fe in blood
Serum transferrin - protein that transports Fe; increased with anemia, can decrease with decreased nutrition
TIBC - evaluates the amount of Fe that can be carried; increases with anemia because there is extra space from the Fe not being carried
Best to do Fe test NPO
Iron deficiency anemia = increased TIBC and transferrin, and decreased serum Fe |
|
|
FSP (Fibrin Split Products) |
Increased values indicate excessive fibrinolysis
Potential for bleeding and DIC |
|
|
D-Dimer |
Fibrin degradation fragments - byproduct of fibrinolysis
Excess indicates DIC, PE, or other disorders such as thrombosis, surgery, sickle cell, and some neoplasms
Should normally be (-)
