A blood test is typically composed of three main tests:a complete blood count, a metabolic panel and a lipid panel.2Each test for different things, which can be understood through a detailed analysis of the results. Confusingly, it is likely that the results of the three tests will not be...
Hct suggest an anemia, which can be due to nutritional deficiencies, blood loss, and destruction of blood cells internally. Mean Corpuscular Volume or MCV helps to diagnose a cause of an anemia. There are so many other parameters in blood work results, which you could ask your doctor about....
Acomplete blood count panelmeasures various components of the blood to provide a comprehensive overview of the cells that make it up.Low valuesof red blood cell count, or RBC, hemoglobin, or Hb, and hematocrit, or HCT, would indicate that the patient is suffering from anemia. Hypothyroidismis...
As part of my work, I rely on various health-related biomarkers, many of which are measured using conventional blood tests. Understanding what common blood tests are intended to measure can help you better interpret the results. If you have results from a recent blood test handy, please ...
CBC results should be evaluated systematically. The first step involves identifying which test results are abnormal. Appropriate scientific terms should be used to describe the abnormalities (Box 2-1). Adjectives such as “mild, moderate, or marked” are applied to reflect the magnitude of the cha...
Since red blood cells can come in different sizes, RDW looks at the range of these sizes in a blood sample. If anemia is suspected, RDW test results are often used together with MCV to figure out what the cause might be. Platelets ...
The results from 398 consecutive measurements of blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and hematocrit were submitted to a statistical analysis. Hematocrit appeared to be the main determinant of blood viscosity, even though its influence was not so strong as illustrated in previous investigations. The correla...
HCT test results depend on several factors, including age and sex. The cutoff values for a normal test result, called its reference range, may also vary depending on the laboratory or methods used to conduct the test. Because of the many factors that affect HCT, it’s important to talk to...
