What is a cbc blood test for?
Hb Tlc Dlc Platelet Count RBCs Count PBF
What stimulates red blood count?
Erythropoietin, a hormone, produced by the kidneys stimulates RBCs.
When counting RBCs and WBCs do you use a concentrated blood sample and a hemocytometer?
No, you will dilute the blood before putting it into the counting chamber (hemocytometer). RBC counts will typically be diluted with normal or isotonic saline, or a similar fluid. WBC counts will be diluted with a substance that will cause the lysis of non-nucleated RBCs (aka mature RBCs). The diluent used is usually 20% acetic acid, 1% HCl acid, Turk's acid (acetic acid and a stain), or 1% ammonium oxalate.

What is the significance of Enumerated?
low rbcs count shows anaemia high rbcs count show polycythemia vera. rbcs enumerations shows the bonemarrow how much active.

What does with diff mean when testing blood?
The doctor wants a differential blood count. This includes both RBCs and WBCs. She is looking to see if any have a higher/lower than normal count. That can give an idea of what is causing the problem.

What effect does running have on RBC count?
Blood consists of red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. Plasma, which constitutes for more than half of normal blood, is about 90% water, thus dehydration can cause a relative increase in RBC count (i.e. there is no real increase in the cell count but decrease in the plasma component).
What does a cbc test for?
CBC stands for Complete Blood Count. It gives Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), White Blood Cell Count (WBC), various components of RBCs and WBCs, and the immature cells within each. A CBC can show various diseases and conditions, including but not limited to:temporary dehydrationclotting tendencies and risksinfectionleukemia
What are the most blood cells?
Red blood cells are by far the most abundant cells in the blood. There are an average of 2,830,000 RBCs per cubic millimeter (microliter). RBCs account for approximately 40 to 45 percent of the blood. This percentage of blood made up of RBCs is a frequently measured number and is called the hematocrit. The ratio of cells in normal blood is 600 RBCs for each white blood cell and 40 platelets.
Why is ESR more in females than in males?
the zeta potential of the rbc's ( the negative charge on the rbcs) REPELLS the rbcs. so. if the number of rbcs is more, more will be the repulsion. females have a lesser blood count than males physiologically. do the rest math urself :-) cheers -JD
