Study Notes

Blood Cell Analysis

  • Blood analysis assesses platelets, white blood cells (WBCs), and red blood cells (RBCs).
  • Blood samples are centrifuged to separate plasma from cellular elements.
  • Platelets comprise 0.1% of whole blood.
  • White blood cells (WBCs) make up 0.1% of the whole blood sample.
  • Red blood cells (RBCs) compose 99.9% of the whole blood.
  • Plasma constitutes 46-63% of the whole blood.
  • Formed elements (formed by platelets and blood cells) constitute 37-54% of the whole blood.

Blood Collection

  • Blood tube types vary depending on the test.
  • EDTA tubes prevent clotting, allowing all blood cells to be analyzed.
  • Orange-capped vials contain thrombin, an accelerator to speed up coagulation, for serum collection.
  • Brownish-red-capped vials allow normal coagulation, for serum collection.
  • Black-topped tubes are used for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tests.

Cellular Elements

  • Erythrocytes (RBCs) are the most abundant blood cells (4-6 million/µL), responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide transport.
  • Leukocytes (WBCs) range from 4,800-10,800/μL, and form from the lymphatic system.
  • Platelets (thrombocytes) originate from megakaryocytes (bone marrow cells), and function in blood clotting.
  • Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow, and differentiate into myeloid and lymphoid stem cells.
  • Myeloid stem cells produce erythrocytes, platelets, and granulocytes.
  • Lymphoid stem cells produce lymphocytes.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

  • CBC is a panel of tests assessing red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets.
  • Cells are separated by size via apertures: platelets are smallest, RBCs are medium, and WBCs are largest.
  • CBC is used for general health screening and to diagnose various health conditions.
  • CBC can be used when there are signs and symptoms related to blood cell disorders, or to monitor the severity of an existing condition.
  • CBC is also used to monitor the effectiveness of a treatment.
  • Abnormal results necessitate further tests to determine if the patient has a severe condition.

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or Erythrocytes

  • RBCs are flexible biconcave disks without a nucleus.
  • They are the most abundant cells in the blood.
  • Their cytoplasm is rich in haemoglobin, responsible for the red color of the blood.
  • RBCs circulate for 100-120 days before removal by macrophages.
  • Normal RBCs exhibit a central pallor.
  • RBC analysis might reveal anisocytosis (variation in size) or poikilocytosis (variation in shape).

Reticulocyte Count

  • Reticulocytes are immature RBCs, retaining RNA and increasing hemoglobin
  • A reticulocyte count helps assess red blood cell generation rates.
  • Normal reticulocyte index is less than 3%.
  • Increased index suggests a response to blood loss or anemia.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

  • Hb is a red blood cell pigment essential for oxygen transport.
  • Measuring Hb helps diagnose anemia.
  • Normal Hb levels differ based on gender and age.

Hematocrit (HCT)

  • HCT measures the percentage of blood volume occupied by RBCs.
  • It's a critical parameter in assessing anemia and polycythemia (abnormal increase in RBCs).
  • Normal HCT values differ based on gender.

RBC Indices

  • These calculations provide physical characteristics of RBCs, including MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin), MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), and RDW (red cell distribution width).

CBC Components and Normal Ranges

  • Includes values for WBCs, RBCs, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and RDW. Numerical values are generally provided for various populations (males, females, etc).

Blood Smear / Film Analysis

  • Visual examination of blood to assess cell morphology, to diagnose conditions affecting blood cell populations.
  • Used in conjunction with CBC results to get a clearer analysis

White Blood Cell (WBC) Analysis

  • Monocytes: largest white blood cells differentiating into macrophages, playing a role in tissue repair and immune response.
  • Lymphocytes: originate in bone marrow and secondary lymph tissues, crucial in immune responses.
  • Variations in WBC count (e.g., leukopenia, leukocytosis) indicate various conditions.
  • Lymphocytes are subdivided into T lymphocytes and plasma cells.
  • Infections, inflammation, or malignancies can affect respective cell counts.

Eosinophils

  • Eosinophils are primary role in combating parasitic infections; also implicated in allergic reactions (e.g. asthma) and certain inflammatory conditions.

Basophils

  • Basophils are granular cells associated with allergic reactions, releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.

Additional Information

  • Direct/Indirect Coombs test are performed for suspected autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
  • Bone marrow suppression factors are linked to chemotherapy.
  • Various blood disorders (e.g., anemia, infections, inflammation) might affect blood cell counts.
  • Cytokine release can impact blood cell levels in severe conditions (e.g., COVID-19).
