With the advent of electronic particle counters of the Coulter S type the mean cell volume (MCV) has become an integral and useful feature of the red cell profile. Abnormally high values, often of minor degree, are particularly common but their precise clinical significance may be difficult to...
High red blood cell count doesn’t always indicate a health problem, it could also be a symptom of a disease or disorder in certain cases. Read on to find more.
A high red blood cell count can indicate a range of conditions, including congenital heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary...
One percent to five percent of newborns can have a high red blood cell count (neonatal polycythemia). Polycythemia is an increased number of red blood cells in the blood.In polycythemia, the levels ofhemoglobin(Hgb),hematocrit(Hct), or red blood cell (RBC) count may be elevated when measure...
WHAT CAN CAUSE THE RED CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH TO BE TOO HIGH? A high RDW (over 14.5%) means that the red blood cells vary a lot in size. There are many possible reasons why the RDW level can be too high. To determine what the possible cause ...
Introduction: Several studies demonstrated that high red cell distribution width (RDW) values are associ- ated with the severity of inflammatory processes. A recent study found that high RDW values signifcantly decrease after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with ac...
High red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with worse outcome in diverse scenarios, including in critical illness. The Sabadell score (SS) predicts in-hospital survival after ICU discharge. We aimed to determine RDW’s association with survival after ICU discharge and whether RDW ...
Novel Red Cell Indices Indicating Reduced Availability of Iron are Associated With High Erythropoietin Concentration and Low pH Level in the Venous Cord Blood of Newborns MARI ERVASTI, ULLA SANKILAMPI, SEPPO HEINONEN, AND KARI PUNNONEN Department of Clinical Chemistry and Hematology [M.E., K.P....
A method for minimizing cell hemolysis in human red blood cells is provided to prevent cells from being hemolyzed by addition of a highly concentrated trehalose during freeze-drying. A method for minimizing cell hemolysis in human red blood cells exposed to a highly concentrated trehalose comprises...
This cohort study uses ACS-NSQUIP registry data to examine the association between perioperative red blood cell transfusions and postoperative venous
