|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hematocrit (Hct) | values correspond to the red cell count and hemoglobin level; when decreased, it indicates anemic conditions
🗑
|
||||
| Hemoglobin (Hgb) | decreased values indicate anemic conditions; values normally differ with age, sex, altitude, and hydration
🗑
|
||||
| Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) | measure of erythropoietic activity; decrease in numbers is related to anemic condition
🗑
|
||||
| White Blood Cell Count (WBC) | abnormal leukocyte response indicative of various conditions, such as infections and malignancies; when accompanied by WBC, differential test becomes more specific
🗑
|
||||
| Platelet Count (Plt Ct) | decreased number indicative of hemorrhagic diseases; values may be used to monitor chemotherapy or radiation treatments
🗑
|
||||
| Differential White Count (Diff) | changes in appearance or number of specific cell type signifies specific disease conditions; values also used to monitor chemotherapy and radiation treatments
🗑
|
||||
| Indices | changes in RBC size, weight, and Hgb content indicate certain types of anemias
🗑
|
||||
| Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) | reveals the weight of the Hgb in the cell, regardless of the size; decreased Hgb content indicative of iron deficiency anemia; increased Hgb content found in macrocytic anemia
🗑
|
||||
| Mean Corpuscular Value (MCV) | reveals the size of the cell; decreased MCV is associated with thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia; increased MCV is associated with folic acid or vit. B12 deficiency and chronic emphysema
🗑
|
||||
| Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) | reveals the Hgb conc. per unit volume of RBCs; < normal means red cells are deficient in Hgb as in thalassemia, overhydration, or iron deficiency anemia; > normal range will be seen in severe burns, prolonged dehydration, and hereditary spherocytosis
🗑
|
||||
| Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) | reveals the size differences of the RBCs; an early predictor of anemia before other signs and symptoms
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
