Normal hemoglobin value for males
13-18 g/dL
Normal hemoglobin value for females
11.5-16 g/dL
Define hematocrit
the percentage of packed RBCs in a blood sample
What is the spinny thing?
a centrifuge or microcentrifuge
Formula for calculating hematocrit values
mm of packed RBCs/total mm of entire blood column
Normal hematocrit percentage range for males
39-54%
Normal hematocrit percentage range for females
35-48%

0-5%
WBC Count Normal Percentage Range: Normal Lymphocytes
15-40%
WBC Count Normal Percentage Range: Atypical Lymphocytes
0-1%
WBC Count Normal Percentage Range: Monocytes
0-10%
WBC Count Normal Percentage Range: Eosinophils
0-5%
WBC Count Normal Percentage Range: Basophils
0-2%
Segmented Neutrophils: High value suggests…
… bacterial infections.
Band Neutrophils: High value suggests…
… acute bacterial infections.
Normal Lymphocytes: High value suggest…
… viral infections.
Normal Lymphocytes: Low value suggests…
… AIDS.
Atypical Lymphocytes: Presence suggests…
… infectious mononucleosis.
Eosinophils: High value suggests…
… parasitic worms OR allergies.
When lymphocyte percentage is low…
… other WBC counts will seem high.
Atypical lymphocytes are transformed T-cells responding to…
… B-Lymphocytes that are infected with Epstein-Bar virus.
Segmented neutrophils are mature or new neutrophils?
mature
High eosinophils means
Parasitic worms or allergies
High band neutrophils means
acute bacterial infection
Presence of Atypical lymphocytes means
infectious mononucleosis
