CBC WBC RBC Hb Hct MPV MCV MCH MCHC RCW Plt diff self explanatory MPV - assesses platelet volume and size MCV - size of average RBC MCH - average amount of Hb in RBC MCHC - ratio of Hb to size of RBC RDW - range of sizes of RBCs diff - classifies and counts types of WBC, shape of RBC and platelets hematology
- Body fluid analysis determines number and types of cells in body fluids hematology
- Bone marrow determines number and types of cells in bone marrow hematology
- ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) determines sedimentation rate of RBCs as test for inflammation hematology
- Reticulocyte count evaluates bone marrow delivery of RBCs into the peripheral circulation hematology
- Sickle cell (solubility test) determines if RBCs containing hemoglobin S are present to diagnose sickle cell anemia hematology
Flow cytometry CD4/CD8 CD34, CD33, CD41, CD19, CD2 Bone marrow cell markers identifies cellular markers on surface of WBCs to determine lymphocyte subclasses in patients with AIDS and tracks health of patients with HIV hematology
- Gram stain screens microorganisms for gram pos/neg microbiology

- Rheumatoid factor detects rheumatoid arthritis serology/immunology
Urinalysis Clarity Color Specific gravity Bilirubin Blood Glucose Ketones Leukocyte esterase Nitrite pH Protein Urobilinogen Cells and other structures high bilirubin = liver disease high glucose = DM high ketones = DM or starvation Nitrite = bacterial infection high protein = kidney disease high urobilinogen = liver disease or hemolytic disorder urinalysis and clinical microscopy

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
