Study Notes
Blood Tests
- Mean Corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) provides information about the average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
White Blood Cell Count
- Differential White Blood Cell Count (Diff) determines the percentage of different types of white blood cells present in the blood.
Liver Disease Diagnosis
- Prothrombin Time (PT) or International Normalized Ratio (INR) is essential for evaluating liver diseases or deficiency in Vitamin K.
Platelet Count
- Platelet (Plt ct) count primarily monitors the number of platelets in the blood, which is essential for blood clotting.
Red Blood Cell Parameters
- Hematocrit (Hct) checks the proportion of red blood cells in the blood.
- Mean Corpuscular volume (MCV) shows the average size of red blood cells.
- Red blood distribution width (RDW) measures the variation in size of red blood cells.
Erythropoietic Activity
- Reticulocyte count is used to measure the erythropoietic activity, which is the production of new red blood cells.
