WHAT IS THE TWO MAJOR AREA IN CLINICAL ANALYSIS AREAS IN LABORATORY?
Anatomical and Surgical Pathology
Clinical Analysis
This clinical area performs the blood and blood forming tissue
Hematology
hemoglobin level and red cell count
Hct or Hematocrit
Values that rule out anemia
Hgb or Hemoglobin
Erythropoetic activity
red Blood Cell Count
leukocyte response
WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT
chemotherapy and radiation conditions
platelet count
changes in the appearance or quantity of specific cell type
Differential white blood cell count
show the changes in RBC size, wieght, and Hgb content
Indices
Weight of the Hgb in the Cell
MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN
to determine the size of the cell
MEAN CORPUSCULAR VOLUME
concentration of the hemoglobin per unit volume of RBCs
MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN CONCENTRATION
THIS IS THE ABILITY OF BLOOD TO FORM AND DISSOLVE CLOTS
