ENHANCEMENT CLASS: CBC PARAMETERS Flashcards
Method used to detect medical conditions such as Anemia (Decrease RBC) and Polycythemia Vera (increase RBC).
RED BLOOD CELL COUNT
RED BLOOD CELL COUNT: REFERENCE RANGE (MALE)
4.20-6.00x10^6/uL (x10^12/L)
RED BLOOD CELL COUNT: REFERENCE RANGE (FEMALE)
3.80-5.20x10^6/uL (x10^12/L)
Protein in red blood cell that carries oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissue.
HEMOGLOBIN
HEMOGLOBIN: METHOD
Cyanmethemoglobin (Hemoglobincyanide)
Cyanmethemoglobin
(Hemoglobincyanide):
Hemoglobin (Fe2)+K3Fe(CN)6 -> methemoglobin (Fe3+) + KCN -> cyanmethemoglobin

13.5-18.0 d/dL (135-180 g/L)
HEMOGLOBIN: REFERENCE RANGE (FEMALE)
12.0-15.0 g/dL (120-150 g/L)
Volume of packed red blood cell that occupies a given portion of whole blood. (Packed cell volume)
HEMATOCRIT
HEMATOCRIT: REFERENCE RANGE (MALE)
40-54% (0.40-0.54 L/L)
HEMATOCRIT: REFERENCE RANGE (FEMALE)
35-49% (0.35-0.49 L/L)
Measures the average size of red blood cells
