HCT normal range? tests for?

[Hematocrit test] -normal: For men, 38.8 to 50 percent For women, 34.9 to 44.5 percent -The definition of normal red-blood cell percentage also varies from one medical practice to another. -The hematocrit test, also known as a packed-cell volume (PCV) test, is a simple blood test.

HGB normal range? tests for?

[Hemoglobin level] The normal range for hemoglobin is: For men, 13.5 to 17.5 grams per deciliter. For women, 12.0 to 15.5 grams per deciliter. If your hemoglobin level is higher than normal, it may be the result of: -Polycythemia vera — a blood disorder in which your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells -Lung disease -Dehydration -Living at a high altitude -Heavy smoking -Burns -Excessive vomiting -Extreme physical exercise If your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, you have anemia. There are many forms of anemia, each with different causes, which can include: -Iron deficiency -Vitamin B-12 deficiency -Folate deficiency -Bleeding -Cancers that affect the bone marrow, such as ----leukemia -Kidney disease -Liver disease -Hypothyroidism -Thalassemia — a genetic disorder that causes low levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells

MCH/MCHC

[Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)] -The reference ranges for mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration are as follows: -MCH: 27-33 picograms (pg)/cell in adults [1] -MCHC: 33-36 g/dL in adults [1] -Normal values may vary depending on the individual laboratory.

MCV normal range? tests for?

[Mean Corpuscular Volume] -The reference range for MCV is 80-96 fL/red cell in adult. [1] Reference ranges may vary depending on the individual laboratory and patient's age. -Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is the average volume of red cells in a specimen. MCV is elevated or decreased in accordance with average red cell size; ie, low MCV indicates microcytic (small average RBC size), normal MCV indicates normocytic (normal average RBC size), and high MCV indicates macrocytic (large average RBC size).

RDW

[Red Cell Distribution Width] -RDW is elevated in accordance with variation in red cell size (anisocytosis), ie, when elevated RDW is reported on complete blood count, marked anisocytosis (increased variation in red cell size) is expected on peripheral blood smear review. The reference range for RDW is as follows: -RDW-SD 39-46 fL [1] -RDW-CV 11.6-14.6% in adult [2]

RBC normal range?

[red blood cell count] Normal RBC ranges are: Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter (cells/mcL) Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL.

WBC normal range? tests for?

[white blood cell count] An average normal range is between 3,500 and 10,500 white blood cells per microliter of blood (mcL). Leukocytosis is the medical term used to describe a high WBC count. This test is used to indicate any sort of infection. WBC can go through an incredible range
