A count of white blood cells that provides information on the relative number of each WBC type is the?
Differential
What are red blood cell indices used to diagnose?
The indices are used to help in the differential diagnosis of anemia.
What is the difference between standard plate count and total plate count?
The white blood cell count and differential determine the number of white blood cells and the percentage of each type of white blood cell in a person's blood. These tests are included in general health examinations and help investigate a variety of illnesses, including infection, allergy, and leukemia. The white blood cell count provides a clue to the presence of illness. White cells protect the body by fighting infection and attacking foreign material. When extra white cells are needed, the bone marrow increases production. There are five types of white cells, each with different functions: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. The differential reveals if these cells are present in a normal distribution, or if one cell type is increased or decreased. This information helps diagnose specific types of illness. Conditions or medications that weaken the immune system, such as AIDS or chemotherapy, cause a decrease in white cells. The white cell count detects dangerously low numbers of white cells. Recovery from illness can be monitored by the white cell count. Counts continuing to rise or fall to abnormal levels indicate a worsening condition; counts returning to normal indicate improvement.
What is a differential leukocyte level?
Leukocytes are white blood cells. There are different kinds of leukocytes, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. During a differential leukocyte count, 100 white blood cells are counted on a Wright stained blood smear using a microscope and assigned to one type. The percent of leukocytes that fall into each type can be used to indicate what disease or condition a patient has. An increased number of neutrophils may indicate a bacterial infection. The presence of cancerous cells can also be determined.

What blood test includes wbc and rbc counts hemoglobin and hematocrit differential?
Blood typing
WBC count with differential?
The white blood cell count and differential determine the number of white blood cells and the percentage of each type of white blood cell in a person's blood.
What does the measurement mean on a blood test?
There are many measurements on blood tests. Some are percentages, like hematocrit or the relative numbers listed in the differential. The Hemoglobin measure is a concentration. The absolute numbers in the differential are simple counts.
What is the blood test in which the percent of each type of white blood cell is determined?
differential
What is the difference between automatic and manual differential count?
An automatic differential count is done using a machine that counts and categorizes the different types of white blood cells in a blood sample, while a manual differential count is done by a laboratory technician visually examining and counting the different types of white blood cells under a microscope. Automated counts are faster and more precise, while manual counts allow for more detailed examination and can better detect abnormalities.
Your 10 yr old has a low white blood count but not ill?
Mildly low WBC counts are usually the result of low-grade viral infections. Even the common cold (rhinovirus) can precipitate mildly low WBC counts. (Also, on the differential, the lymphocyte portion of the WBC count is often somewhat elevated.)
What is the test that determines the number of differentt types of leukocytes?
Blood smear? Differential count?
Estimation of the percentage of each white blood cell type in a smear is called a?
differential white blood cell count.
What are QBC blood analyzers?
In terms of blood analysis, "QBC" stands for "qualitative buffy coat". The buffy coat of a centrifuged blood sample contains the white blood cells of the blood, so a qualitative (numerical) analysis of the buffy coat is analogous to a differential white blood cell count in an uncentrifuged blood sample. A QBC blood analyzer is simply a machine that automatically performs these counts and presents the results to the physician or veterinarian.
What does white blood cell count and differential mean?
A white blood cell (WBC) count determines the concentration of white blood cells in the patient's blood. A differential determines the percentage of each of the five types of mature white blood cells.
