hematocrit hct
hemoglobin hgb
red blood cell count RBC
white blood cell count WBC
platelet count Plt Ct
differential white count Diff
mean corpuscular hemoglobin MCH
mean corpuscular volume MCV
mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration MCHC
red blood cell distribution width RDW
Values correspond to the red cell count & hemoglobin level; decreased indicates anemic conditions. hamatorit
decreased values indicate anemic conditions; values normally differ with age, sex, altitude and hydration. hemoglobin
measure of erythropoietic activity;decreased in number related to anemic conditions.of various conditions, such as infections and malignancies when accompanied by WBC, differential test becomes more specific red blood cell count (RBC)
abnormal leukocytes response indicative of various conditions, such as infections and malignancies when accompanied by WBC, differential test becomes more specific white blood cell count (WBC)
decreased number indicative of hemorrhagic diseases; values may be used to monitor chemotherapy or radition treatments. platelet count (Plt Ct)
changes in appearance or number of specific cell type signifies specific disease conditions;values also used to monitor chemotherapy or radiation treatments. differential white blood count (Diff)
changes in RBC size, weight, and Hgb content indicate certain types of anemias. indices
reveals the weight of the hemoglobin in the cell, regardless of the size. Decreases hemoglobin content and indicative of iron deficiency anemia; increased hemoglobin content found in macrocytic anemia. MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin)
reveals the size of the cell. Decreases MCV associated with thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia; increased MCV because of folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency and chronic emphysema. MCV (mean corpuscular volume)
reveals the hemoglobin concentration per unit volume of RBCs. Below-normal range means red cells are deficient in hemoglobin as in thalassemia, over hydration, or iron deficiency anemia; above-normal range will be seen in severe burns, prolonged dehydrat MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)
reveals the size differences of the RBCs. An early preditor of anemia before other signs and symptoms RDW (red blood cell distribution width)

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.
