(mean corpuscular volume). RBC size.

the size of RBC on microcytic (small), normocytic (normal), and macrocytic (large).

A decreased MCV (microcyte) might be indicative of

Microcytic anemia- iron deficiency anemia, Malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, lead poisoning, radiation and hemoglobinopathies: thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, Hemo globin C

Increased MCV (macrocytosis

macrocytic anemia: aplastic, hemolytic and pernicious anemia. Chroinc liver disease. Hypothyroidism, Drug influance: Vit. B12, anticonvulsants and antimetabolis. and folic acid anemia

MCV value can be calculated if the

RBC count and hematocrit (Hct) are unknown

indicates the hemoglobin concontration per unitvolume of RBCs/

A decreased MCHC can indicate

a hypochromic anemia, iron- deficency anemia, thalassemia

MCHC can be calculated by

MCH x 100/ MCV or Hb (hemoglobin) x 100/ Hct (hematocrit)

80-98 in adult (newborn is 96-108 and child is 82-92)

32%-36% in an adult, 32-33% in newborn and 32-36% in child

adult male: 40-54%, Female 36-46% PANIC VALUE less the 15% and greater then 60%

volume (in mL) of packed red blood cells found in 100 ml (1 dl) of blood, expressed as a precentage.

Low Hct often indicates

anemia and leukemias, acute blood loss, hodkins, lymphosarcoma, malignancy of organ, cirrhosis of liver, protein malnutrition

Elevated levels can indicate

the hydration status of the client, hypovolemia, diarrhea, polycythemia vera, eyrthrocytosis, diabetic acidosis, pulmonary emphysema (later stage), transiet cerebral ischemia, eclampsia, surgery, burnss

adult male: 13.5-17 g/dl, adult female 12-15 g/dl

a protein substance foung in red blood cells, gives blood its red color. Hgb is is comprised of iron, which carries O2

Abnormally high hemoglobin levels may be due to

dehydreation.hemoconcentration, polycythemia, high altitudes, chronic obstructive lung disease, congestive heart failure, sever burns.

Abnormally low hemoglobin levels may be due to

Anemias, severe hemorrhage, cirrhoaia of the liver, leukemia, hodkins disease, sarcoidosis, excess IV fluids, cancer (of intestine, rectum, liver, bone)

Janet- test 3- Lab values for RBC, Hgb, Hct, MCV, & MCHC

Question	Answer
MCV	(mean corpuscular volume). RBC size.
MCV indicates:	the size of RBC on microcytic (small), normocytic (normal), and macrocytic (large).
A decreased MCV (microcyte) might be indicative of	Microcytic anemia- iron deficiency anemia, Malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, lead poisoning, radiation and hemoglobinopathies: thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, Hemo globin C
Increased MCV (macrocytosis	macrocytic anemia: aplastic, hemolytic and pernicious anemia. Chroinc liver disease. Hypothyroidism, Drug influance: Vit. B12, anticonvulsants and antimetabolis. and folic acid anemia
MCV value can be calculated if the	RBC count and hematocrit (Hct) are unknown
MCHC	indicates the hemoglobin concontration per unitvolume of RBCs/
A decreased MCHC can indicate	a hypochromic anemia, iron- deficency anemia, thalassemia
MCHC can be calculated by	MCH x 100/ MCV or Hb (hemoglobin) x 100/ Hct (hematocrit)
MCV normal range	80-98 in adult (newborn is 96-108 and child is 82-92)
MCHC normal range	32%-36% in an adult, 32-33% in newborn and 32-36% in child
Hct	Hematocrit
Hct normal values	adult male: 40-54%, Female 36-46% PANIC VALUE less the 15% and greater then 60%
Hct is the	volume (in mL) of packed red blood cells found in 100 ml (1 dl) of blood, expressed as a precentage.
Low Hct often indicates	anemia and leukemias, acute blood loss, hodkins, lymphosarcoma, malignancy of organ, cirrhosis of liver, protein malnutrition
Elevated levels can indicate	the hydration status of the client, hypovolemia, diarrhea, polycythemia vera, eyrthrocytosis, diabetic acidosis, pulmonary emphysema (later stage), transiet cerebral ischemia, eclampsia, surgery, burnss
hgb	HEMOGLOBIN
Hgb norms	adult male: 13.5-17 g/dl, adult female 12-15 g/dl
Hgb is	a protein substance foung in red blood cells, gives blood its red color. Hgb is is comprised of iron, which carries O2
Abnormally high hemoglobin levels may be due to	dehydreation.hemoconcentration, polycythemia, high altitudes, chronic obstructive lung disease, congestive heart failure, sever burns.
Abnormally low hemoglobin levels may be due to	Anemias, severe hemorrhage, cirrhoaia of the liver, leukemia, hodkins disease, sarcoidosis, excess IV fluids, cancer (of intestine, rectum, liver, bone)
