A low percentage in hematology typically refers to a decrease in the number of a particular blood cell type, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, relative to the total number of blood cells. This could indicate a variety of conditions, including anemia, infection, or bone marrow disorders. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the underlying cause.

What is hematology control?

Mindray's hematology controls and calibrators are the original standards with which to evaluate the precision and accuracy of hematology analyzers. Backed up by world-class development and manufacturing, these hematology controls and calibrators offer the assurance of highest quality from your lab results. All of these hematology controls and calibrators feature long-term stability and ready-to-run tubes, and are thus convenient to use.


In a Hematology test what is PLT for?

In a hematology test, PLT stands for platelet count. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that help with clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Abnormal platelet counts can indicate various medical conditions such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or thrombocytosis (high platelet count).


Is creatinine absorbed by the PCT?

Yes, creatinine is freely filtered by the glomerulus and not reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). It is mostly excreted in the urine and its levels can be used as a marker of kidney function.


What are some drawbacks of hematology?

Some drawbacks of hematology include the need for skilled interpretation of results, variability in testing methodology between laboratories, and the potential for errors in sample collection or analysis. Additionally, complex disorders may require additional specialized testing beyond routine hematology studies.


Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the lumen in the PCT is largely by means of?

Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the lumen in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is largely by means of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). This transporter is responsible for actively transporting glucose and sodium from the renal tubule back into the bloodstream. The glucose is then further passively reabsorbed through the facilitative glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in the PCT cells.
