It could just mean that there is an infection around the cervix or it could mean something greater. You have to wait for the Pap tests to come back but women often have inflammation of the cervix. Your doctor might prescribe an antibiotic prior to the test results if she or he feels that an infection is present.
An abnormal increase in the number of circulating red blood cells.
Increased blood flow helps muscle cells release more energy. This is because the blood delivers the products needed for the cell to function.
Some conditions, such as polycythemia, cause an overproduction of red blood cells, resulting in an increased hematocrit.
Cervical cells are collected during some pelvic exams for a Pap smear, an examination to screen for cancer of the cervix.
The advantage of red blood cells' biconcave shape is that the surface area is increased to allow more haemoglobin to be stored in the cell. This means that the red blood cells can acquire a greater volume of oxygen than if they had a flatter membrane.
Normal CSF should contain no infection-fighting cells (white blood cells), so the presence of white blood cells in CSF is another indication of meningitis.
WBCs (white blood cells)
An Infection
A shortage of red blood cells caused by: decreased production of blood cells by bone marrow, increased distruction or blood loss.
An abnormal increase in the number of circulating red blood cells.
An increase in the amount of blood cells would likely cause an increase in the diameter of the blood vessels and decrease the visosity both resulting in a increased blood flow. (Think the opposite of anemia.)
Body cells get oxygen and food from blood. So, faster breathing causing increased oxygenation and increased heart rate cause greater blood flow during exercise.
Increased blood flow helps muscle cells release more energy. This is because the blood delivers the products needed for the cell to function.
physicians will examine the blood for the number of young red blood cells, since the number of young cells is increased in hemolytic anemia.
Some conditions, such as polycythemia, cause an overproduction of red blood cells, resulting in an increased hematocrit.
White blood cells can be counted by a lab technician, usually a haematologist. When a blood sample is taken the number of white blood cells can be counted and if increased or decreased from the norm this will help in a diagnosis being made.
Congestive heart failure causes increased hemoglobin. When the underlying cause is anemia; the body will respond by increasing production of red blood cells (RBCs); withe a responding increase in hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood). Increased RBCs leads to increased hemoglobin levels.
