Unit 2 Hematology lab values tests Flashcards
Bone marrow cellularity
Ratio of hematopoietic cells to fat; ratio is 50-50
Bone marrow myeloid to erythroid ratio
Ratio 2=1 to 5=1
Define bone marrow trilineage hematopoiesis
Three lineages= granulocyte precursors, erythroid precursors, megakaryocytes.
Defined bone marrow left shift
Left shift I is a shift to immaturity—it may be reactive or neoplastic.
Normal value of plasma cells in the bone marrow
Less than 3%
Normal value of lymphocytes in bone marrow
Less than 20%
Normal value blast cells in the bone marrow
Less than 3%
Hemoglobin =
Heme + globin
Heme =
Iron + protoporphyrin
Hematocrit =
MCV × RBC
MCH =
Hemoglobin ÷ RBC
Indicates the major forms of hemoglobin and their chain composition
Hemoglobin A: α2, β2
Hemoglobin A 2: α2,
Indicate the variant forms of hemoglobin and the chain composition
Hemoglobin H: 4 beta chains
Hemoglobin Barts: 4 gamma chains
Hemoglobin Portland: 2 gamma chains + 2 delta chains
Normal hemoglobin: male, female
Male: 14 –18 grams per deciliter; Female: 12 – 16 grams per deciliter
Normal hematocrit: male, female
Male: 40% – 54%; Female: 35% – 47%
Normal red blood cell count: male, female
Mail: 4.5 – 6 x 10^6 per microliter
E-mail: 4 –5.5 × 10 ^ 6 per microliter
Normal reticulocytes
0.5%–2.5%
RBC: MCV
82 – 100 cubic micrometers
