Tear drop cells in the blood stream are most generally associated with iron deficiency anemia. While this is not an alarming finding, it suggests that there is a production problem in the bone marrow when trying to get enough iron (hemoglobin) into the red cells. If there isn't enough iron, the red cells will adapt and attempt to maximize surface area for oxygen binding by altering their shape. This is a common appearance in iron deficient states. There are a host of other changes along with tear drop cells that support the diagnosis of iron deficiency. This is also seen in other conditions that are less frequently diagnosed.

What is a CBCD lab test?
A CBCD is a complete blood count with a differential. This CBCD measures the five major white blood cells present.
What is the absolute number of white blood cells in the differential?
The absolute number of white blood cells in a differential count refers to the actual count of each type of white blood cell present in a microliter of blood. This count helps determine if there are any abnormalities in the distribution of white blood cells.
Process in which leukocytes are stained and counted?
The process you are referring to is known as a blood differential test or a white blood cell differential count. During this test, a blood sample is stained with special dyes to help differentiate between various types of white blood cells. These stained cells are then counted under a microscope to determine the relative percentages of each type of white blood cell present in the sample.
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.
What does high mono manual diff mean?
It means the machine has counted a high percentage of monocytes in the peripheral blood and has flagged the result so the tech will perform a manual differential count.
What is the difference between a manual and automatic differential count?

What is the difference between leukocyte analysis percent and differential white blood count?
Leukocyte analysis percent refers to the proportion of each type of white blood cell in a sample, while a white blood cell differential count provides the actual number of each type of white blood cell present in a sample. The leukocyte analysis percent gives a percentage breakdown of white blood cell types, whereas the differential count quantifies the absolute numbers of each type.
What is the test that determines the number of differentt types of leukocytes?
Blood smear? Differential count?
A count of white blood cells that provides information on the relative number of each WBC type is the?
differential white blood cell count. It provides detailed information on the percentage of different types of white blood cells present in a blood sample, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. This helps in diagnosing various infections, inflammation, and immune system disorders.
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 is the difference between automatic and manual differential count?
Most analysers provide an automated differential with the white cell count, red cell count, and indices. If for some reason, the differential is rejected, or flagged on the automated differential provided, the differential must be performed manually by properly trained technologists. A manual differential involves making a smear on a glass slide and staining the slide with Wright's stain which is a combination of acid and basic dyes. The stain results in white blood cells staining blue and the red blood cells staining red, platelets also appear blue. 100 white blood cells are counted under a microscope-dividing them into the 5 white cell types and evaluating the cells for abnormalities. The red cells are observed for size, shape, and hemoglobin content. The number of platelets is estimated as well. The absolute number of each white cell line is then reported using the percentage of each cell type and with white cell count.
