What measurements are needed to calculate red blood cell indices?
blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit
The physician ordered blood work for his patient to include red blood cells indices this test would include determining the?
Red blood cell indices would include determining the size (mean corpuscular volume), hemoglobin concentration (mean corpuscular hemoglobin), and the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration). These indices help in evaluating the size, shape, and oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells.
What are red blood cell indices used to diagnose?
Red blood cell indices, including mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), are primarily used to diagnose different types of anemia. These indices can help determine the size and hemoglobin content of red blood cells, providing valuable information about the underlying cause of anemia, such as iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or hemolysis.
What prescription medications may affect the test results for red blood cell indices?
zidovudine (Retrovir), phenytoin (Dilantin), and azathioprine (Imuran)

The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
When is a red blood cell red?

Are there critical or panic values for a red blood cell count?
There is not a critical/panic value associated with red blood cell counts. The RBC is usually not clinically significant but the hemoglobin and hematocrit are. Hematocrit is calculated using the red count, that is why it is needed.
How is a cell differs from a red blood cell?

What is a host red blood cell?
