2. Hemoglobin
⚫Hb is the iron containing coloring matter of RBC
If the count is low -
chronic inflammation(inflammation is a body process that
can result in pain swelling warmth or redness)
Low hematocrit and hemoglobin counts may be signs that
your medication is causing a loss of blood from your
stomach and passing through your bowel. Low counts also
may indicate a decrease in red blood cell production.
bone marrow problem

3. If the count is more –
bloodvolume increase
in case of smoking
high altitude

4. ⚫Normal Count : 14 – 16 g/dL
but it can vary from age to age
At birth : 25g/dL
After 3rd month : 20g/dL
After 1 year : 17g/dL
from puberty onwards : 14 – 16g/dL

5. it can also vary in
age –
Adult males : 15g/dL
Adult females : 14.5g/dL

6. WB
C
⚫WBC tests measure the number of white blood cells
present. When you have an infection your body makes
more white blood cells. Some medications can decrease
the number of white blood cells which could increase your
chances of getting an infection

7. Normal
Values
⚫total count(TC)-
4000 – 11000/cu mm of blood
differential count(DC)-
% Absolute
volume/cu mmof
blood
neutrophils 50-70 3000-6000
eosinophils 2-4 150-450
basophils 0-1 0-100
monocytes 2-6 200-600
lymphocytes 20-30 1500-2700

8. SIGNIFICAN
S
⚫If the count is less-
may be due to some medications
decrease count indicate more prone for infection
If the count is more-
disease in bone marrow
disorder in immune system
acute lymphocytic leukemia
acute myelogenous leukemia(AML)
Allergy, especially severe allergic reactions
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

9. Chronic myelogenous leukemia
Drugs, such as corticosteroids and epinephrine
Infections, bacterial or viral
Myelofibrosis
Polycythemia vera
Rheumatoid arthritis
Smoking
Stress, such as severe emotional or physical stress
Tuberculosis
Whooping cough

10. Platelet count
⚫This test measures the number of "sticky" cells or platelets
that help the blood to clot (aspirin and some other
medications make the platelets less "sticky"). If the
number of platelets is low you could have too much
bleeding. Some powerful arthritis medications in rare
instances lower the platelet count.

11. Normal
Values
2,50,000/cu mmof blood
range- 2,00,000 – 4,00,000/cu mm of blood

12. Significanc
e
⚫If the count is less- (thrombocytopenia)
more bleeding
TB
infectionsand otherdisease
If the count is more- (thrombocytosis)
allergic conditions
hemorrhage
bone fracture
rheumatic fever
trauma

13. PCV
 The PCV/hematocrit blood test determines the percentage of red blood
cells (RBC's) in the blood.Blood is composed mainly of red blood cells
and white blood cells suspended in an almost clear fluid called serum.
The hematocrit test indicates the percentage of blood by volume that is
composed of red blood cells.
 Results from your hematocrit are reported as the percentage of blood cells
that are red blood cells.
 The normal range is 38.8 to 50 percent for men and
 34.9 to 44.5 percent for women.
 The normal range for children 15 years of age and younger varies by age and
sex

14. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
⚫This test also called "sed rate determines if you have
inflammation. The sed rate can measure the amount of
inflammation present. The test measures how fast red
blood cells cling together, fall, and settle toward the
bottom of a glass tube in an hour's time, like sediment.
The higher the sed rate, the greater the amount of
inflammation. As inflammation responds to medication,
the sed rate usually goes down. This is an example of a
test your doctor might order several times. Another test
used to measure this is the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test.

15. Normal
Values
by westergen method-
in males-
in females-
in infants-
3-7 mm in one hour
5-9 mm in one hour
0-2 mm in one hour

16. Significanc
e
⚫ if the count is more - (more inflammation)
TB
anemia
malignant tumors
RA
Rheumatoid fever
liverdisease

17. ⚫If the count is less-
allergicconditions
sicklecell anemia
polycythemia(increase in RBC)
peptoneshock
severe leukocytosis
