|
RBC count
|
-aka erythrocyte count, erythrocyotosis
-#rbc / 1mm3 of blood volume -male = more cuz more muscle mass -normal value: male=>4.5-5.3 mill / 1 mm3 of bv female=> 4.1-5.1mill/ 1 mm3 of bv -increase: via more O2 needs ex. exercise, higher altitude, hypoxia from COPD -decrease: anemia, hemorrhage (loss of rbc), insufficient elements for rbc production ex. Fe, folic acid, and bone marrow suppression. |
|
|
Hct (hematocrit)
|
-percent of rbc of total blood
-normal value: male=> 37- 49% female=> 36-46% -increase: same as rbc count, burn pt, decrease plasma -decrease: same as rbc count, increase plasma<=>overhydration |
|
|
Hgb (hemogoblin)
|
-# of hemogoblin / 1 dL of blood
-Fe = binds O2 for transport, heme = color for rbc -normal value: male=> 13-18 g/dL female=> 12-16 g/dL -increase: relates to size/# of rbc ex. polycythemia: increase in rbc, dehydration -decrease: hemorrhage, anemia-hemolytic/sickle cell, bone marrow suppression.. therefore like decrease rbc count. |
|
|
MCV (mean corpuscular volume)
|
-average size rbc
-normal value: 80-100 mcm3 -dictates size of rbc -increase: macrocytic ex. pernicious/ folic acid deficiency anemia, EOTH=> Liver=>cirrhosis (g-pa) -decrease: macrocytic ex. Fe deficiency / Thallesemia (Cooley's) anemia, lead (pb) poisoning |
|
|
MCHV (mean corpuscular hemogoblin concentration)
|
-% of hgb per 1 cell
-normal: 31-37% -factor for color -decrease: hypochromatic ex. Fe deficiency, Thallasemia anemia -increase: hyperchromatic ex. rare |
|
|
MCH (mean corpuscular hemogoblin)
|
-# of hbg per 1 cell
-normal: 25.4-34.6/ 1 cell -factor for color -decrease: hypochromatic ex. Fe deficiency, Thallasemia anemia -increase: hyperchromatic ex. rare |
|
|
ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
|
-aka SR (sedimentation rate)
-measures how fast rbc settles in anticoag blood -smaller rbc = slower -bigger rbc = faster -normal value: male=> 0-17mm/hr. female=>0-25mm/hr. -increase: normal for pregnancy, tissue injury or inflammation |
