Is 10.8 normal blood count?
if your meaning is for hb then it is slightly low in children, very low in neonates, and low in male and female. hb depends on age and sex.
What are the characteristics of mature red blood cells?
LOTS of haemoglobin (Hb) molecules to carry oxygen. (ie. ~100 million Hb/red blood cell). Immature red blood cells have few Hb in each blood cell.
What is the average oxygen carrying capacity for normal hemoglobin?
This is the theoretical maximum volume of oxygen capable of binding to one gm of hemoglobin (Hb) multiplied by the % saturation of the hemoglobin. Practically, if one knows the amount of Hb per volume of blood then one can determine the volume of O2 carried by blood solely by Hb. Let us assume the following values:[Hb] = 15gm/100mLO2 bound per gm of Hb = 1.39 mLand O2 saturation = 97.5%...ThenO2 carrying capacity of 100 mL blood due to Hb = 15 x 1.39 x 0.975= 20.33 mL O2/100mL
What protein combines with oxygen in the blood for transport?
The protein haemoglobin found in red blood cells binds reversibly with oxygen. It is the oxygen transporter in blood, and when combined with oxygen the product is oxyhaemoglobin. One haemoglobin molecule binds with four oxygen molecules in accordance with the chemical equation: Hb + 4O2 -> Hb(O2)4 Note: Hb is haemoglobin; Hb(O2)4 is oxyhaemoglobin
What if your hemoglobin level is 8 but RBC count is normal 4.49 is this anemia or worse?
normal range of Hb for male=13-18g% normal range of Hb for female=11-15g% with given information the condition is "hypochromic anemia", plus the basic requisite to be termed as anemia is lowered hb% not decreased RBC count.
What preservative does the Lord compare his disciples?
The Lord compares his disciples to salt in the Bible. Salt preserves and adds flavor to food, just as disciples are called to preserve and bring goodness to the world through their actions and teachings.
What is hematocrit and how do you calculate it?
Given the total Hb concentration, and the mean corpuscular Hb concentration, Hct can be estimated using the formula Hb/MCHC x 100
Is haemoglobin range of 10.7 normal?
Hb of 10.7 is slightly on the low side
Why do the red blood cells carry less oxygen in a smoker?
Red blood cells contain a protein known as haemoglobin (Hb) which is responsible for carrying about 98% of the body's oxygen (the rest is dissolved in the blood). However oxygen is not the only thing that binds to Hb. Both carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) can also bind to it as well (both of which are chemicals produced in cigarette smoke). The binding of CO2 to Hb is normal, and is how the majority of CO2 in the body is trasported to the lungs for exhalation (as it is a bi-product of energy production in the body). However, both CO2 and CO have higher affinities for Hb (i.e. they are more likely to bind to Hb) in the blood, and so when there is more CO and CO2 around, such as when smokers inhale cigarette smoke, the Hb is more likely to bind CO and CO2 than oxygen. CO2 is far more common than CO, and Hb's affinity for it is lower as well. Hb has an incredibly high affinity for CO which explains why it is so toxic to humans as the Hb it binds to is more or less left unusable in the body. This is my understanding of this all at a 2nd year university level of physiology, but I believe it more or less explains everything.
In a normal blood test do they look for hcg just a normal blood test at the dr office to find out if i had low iron?
Hcg is a pregnancy hormone, often used to determine if conception has occurred. Are you sure they didn't test for hemoglobin (Hb) and/or hematocrit (Hct)? Those are used to test iron levels.
Is it normal to have slow white menstruation?
no / better u go for Hb value in blood /Because ur Hb Value may be come down so the u can seen white menstreation ,and that may by white discarge(leucorrh Dr.B.Karthikeyan B.A.M.S for more detils Dr.KarthiKayur@yaoo.com, Dr.KarthiKayur@rediffmail.com.
What does a high MPV mean?
High MPV means that you have more than normal blood platelets. Your doctor will probably run more tests to check for things like leukemia.
