Confirm abnormal CBC Include differential, manual slide review if available,reticulocyte count Obtain further studies which will let youevaluate anemia etiology: Chemistry panel: should include creatinine, totalbilirubin, total protein, and albumin PT/PTT if platelets are low Fe, TIBC/Transferrin, B12/...
Describe the genetic abnormalities that produce sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Define the following term: Complete Blood Count (CBC) Explain erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets are not normal constituents of urine. What is the average maximum number of days that a red blood cell can...
How can you use the CBC with differential to diagnose different types of anemias? What other information would help your diagnosis? Describe some of the signs or symptoms a person with a hiatal hernia might have. Discuss the aetiology, symptoms, prognosis, and ...
Results: The analyzers exhibited excellent correlations for CBC and neutrophils but displayed a limit correlation for lymphocytes. The XN did not miss circulating blasts (0.5%- 95% in microscopy). For NRBCs, the XN demonstrated a sensitivity of 90%; DxH, 74%; and SAPH, 2...

The most widely used first tier of confirmatory testing after a complete blood count with differential (CBC) is quantitation of lymphocyte subsets (total lymphocytes (CD45+ absolute lymphocyte count), CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells; CD19+ or CD20+ B cells; and CD3-/CD16+ and/or CD56+ ...
