    Study Notes

    Red Blood Cell Parameters

    • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells.
    • The Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) measures the variation in size of red blood cells.
    • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
    • RDW reflects changes in the size differences of red blood cells.
    • Indices in red blood cells show the average characteristics of red blood cells.
    • Hemoglobin (Hgb) rules out anemia or polycythemia.
    • The concentration of hemoglobin per unit volume of red blood cells is indicated by the Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC).

    White Blood Cell Parameters

    • The Differential Count reflects changes in the appearance or quantity of specific white blood cell types.

    Platelet Count and Red Blood Cell Count

    • The Platelet Count helps to diagnose bleeding disorders or thrombotic disorders in patients.
    • The primary purpose of the Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count is to detect anemia or polycythemia.
