What is the full form of GRAN in haemogram test?
GRAN stands for Granulocytes, which is a part of the WBCs. There are 5 types of WBCs (Differential Count): Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils. A collective count of Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are together called Granulocytes. In the less advanced cell counters, ie. the 3 Part Differential Cell Counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Granulocytes are counted whereas in 5 Part Differential Cell counters, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils are counted separately and more accurately.
Why must the WBCs be stained when performing a differential cell count?
WBCs need to be stained for differential cell counts to help distinguish and identify different types of white blood cells based on their cellular characteristics or staining properties. Staining allows for better visualization and differentiation of the various types of WBCs present in a sample, aiding in accurate identification and quantification of each cell type.
An elevated count usually indicates a chronic infection?
if you are talking about wbcs it happens mostly in acute infection.
What percent of white blood count are lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes are one of the five types of white blood cells (WBCs), the other four being monocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils. Lymphocytes normally account for 25-33% of total WBCs.

How do platelet clumps affect the WBC and platelet counts?
If the platelet clumps are large enough, an automated blood analyzer may mistake them for WBCs, causing a falsely high WBC count. The platelet count will be decreased if there is a lot of clumping.
What does tc dc test for humans mean?
DC is differential count, which expresses the configuration or contitution of the WBCs in the blood like.. There are 5 different types of WBCs ----> Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes.. The composition is expressed in terms of percentage like N60%, L35%, E3%, M2%, B0%... This is DC
What is the removal of WBCs from the circulation?
The removal of white blood cells (WBCs) from the circulation is primarily carried out by the spleen. The spleen acts as a filter for the blood, where old or damaged WBCs are removed and destroyed. Additionally, the liver also plays a role in removing WBCs from the circulation.
What are possible abnormal results of blood count tests?
Abnormal blood count results are seen in a variety of conditions. One of the most common is anemias, which are characterized by low RBC counts, hemoglobins, and hematocrits. Infections and leukemias are associated with increased numbers of WBCs.
