A scientist or lab technician performs the requested testing and provides the requesting medical professional with the results of the CBC. Blood counts of various types have been used for clinical purposes since the 19th century.

Automated equipment to carry out complete blood counts was developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Most blood counts today include a CBC count (i.e.: complete blood count) and leukocyte differential count (LDC) that gives the percentage of each WBC type, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes). The that circulate in the are generally divided into three types: white blood cells , red blood cells , and platelets. Abnormally high or low counts may indicate the presence of many forms of disease, and hence blood counts are among the most commonly performed in medicine, as they can provide an overview of a patient's general health status. A CBC is routinely performed during annual in some jurisdictions.

Contents. Medical uses Complete blood counts are done to monitor overall health, to for some diseases, to confirm a diagnosis of some medical conditions, to monitor a medical condition, and to monitor changes in the body caused by medical treatments.

For patients who need, a blood count may be used to get data which would help plan an amount of treatment. In such cases, the person should have only one blood count for the day, and the transfusion of red blood cells or platelets should be planned based on that. Multiple blood draws and counts throughout the day are an excessive use of phlebotomy and can lead to unnecessary additional transfusions, and the extra unnecessary treatment would be outside of. Procedure. CBC being performed in a hospital using an Cell-Dyn 1700 automatic analyzer A collects the sample through, drawing the blood into a containing an (, sometimes ) to stop it from. The sample is then transported to a.

Sometimes the sample is drawn off a finger prick using a for immediate processing by an automated counter. Before the advent of automated hematology anayzers, CBCs were performed manually, by counting cells in a diluted sample of blood on a device called a, and by viewing a slide prepared with a sample of the patient's blood (a, or peripheral smear) under a. However, manual blood cell counts are becoming less common, and instead this process is generally performed by the use of an. Automated.

Automated hematology analyzer Typically, analysis begins when a well mixed whole blood sample is placed on a rack in the analyzer. The instrument utilizes flow cells, photometers and apertures in order to analyze different elements in the blood. The cell counting component counts the numbers and types of different cells within the blood. A special photometer called a hemoglobinometer measures the amount of hemoglobin.

This is done by adding a diluent that lyses the red blood cells which is then pumped into a spectro-photometric measuring. The change in color of the equates to the hemoglobin content of the blood. This information can be very helpful to a physician who, for example, is trying to identify the cause of a patient's. The results are printed out or sent to a computer for review. Blood cell counting occurs by when a very small amount of the specimen is aspirated, diluted and passes through an aperture and a laser flow cell.

Sensors count and identify the number of cells passing through the aperture. The two main types sensors used are laser light detectors. The instrument determines the type of blood cell by analyzing data about the size and aspects of light as they pass through the cells. Some instruments measuring different characteristics of the cells in order to categorize them. Because an automated hematology cell counter samples and counts so many cells, the results are very precise.

However, certain abnormal cells in the blood may not be identified correctly, requiring manual review of the instrument's results and identification by other means (such as microscopy) of any abnormal cells the instrument could not categorize. Sophisticated modern analyzers can provide extended WBC differential counts, which include hematopoietic progenitor cells, immature granulocytes, and erythroblasts.

Various (parameters calculated from other CBC results) are often reported in addition to cell counts and hemoglobin. Automated hematology analyzers calculate the average amount and concentration of within each red blood cell. Average RBC size and shape are also calculated to provide additional diagnostic information.

For example, if the red cells are smaller or larger than normal, or if there is a lot of variation in the size of the red cells, this data can help guide the direction of further testing and expedite the diagnostic process so patients can get the treatment they need quickly. This shows the view through the microscope of the specialized hemocytometer slide. The built-in grid simplifies counting cells by helping the technician keep track of which cells have already been counted. (counting chambers that hold a specified volume of diluted blood to enable enumeration with a microscope) are used to calculate the number of red and white cells per litre of blood. (The dilution and scaled grid lines on the hemocytometer are used because there are far too many cells without those aids.) To identify the numbers of different white cells, a is made on a slide, and a large number of white blood cells (at least 100) are counted using a microscope. This gives the percentage of cells that are of each type.

By multiplying these percentages by the total number of, the absolute number of each type of white cell can be obtained. Manual microscopic counting is useful in cases where automated analyzers cannot reliably count abnormal cells, such as those immature or atypical cells (that are not present in normal patients) and are only seen in peripheral blood with certain haematological conditions. Manual counting is subject to because so few cells are counted compared with automated analysis. Medical technologists examine blood film via a microscope for some CBCs, not only to find abnormal white cells but also because variation in the shape of red cells is an important diagnostic tool. Although automated analysers give fast, reliable results regarding the number, average size, and variation in size of red blood cells, they do not identify specific shapes. Also, some normal patients' platelets will clump in EDTA anticoagulated blood, which causes automatic analyses to give a falsely low platelet count.

The person viewing the slide in these cases will see clumps of platelets and can estimate if there are low, normal, or high numbers of platelets. Included tests. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of normal circulating human blood.

One can see red blood cells, several knobby white blood cells including lymphocytes, a monocyte, a neutrophil, and many small disc-shaped platelets. A complete blood count will normally include: White cells Total are reported, and a differential reports all the white cell types as a percentage and as an absolute number per unit volume. A high WBC may indicate an infection, leukemia or some other hematological disorder.: May indicate infection, and are seen in. They may also be raised in acute viral infections. Because of the segmented appearance of the nucleus, more mature neutrophils are sometimes referred to as 'segs'. The nucleus of less mature neutrophils is not segmented, but has a band or rod-like shape.

Less mature neutrophils are known as 'bands' or 'stabs'. Stab is a German term for rod.: Higher with some infections such as. Raised in (CLL) and other leukemias. Counts may be decreased. In adults, lymphocytes are the second most common WBC type after neutrophils. In young children under age 8, lymphocytes are more common than neutrophils.: May be raised in, chronic and: Increased in infections, or.: May be increased in bone marrow related conditions such as. Red cells Total: The number of red cells is given as an absolute number per litre.

Iron deficiency is one condition that shows up as a Low RBC count. Hemoglobin : The amount of hemoglobin in the blood, expressed in grams per decilitre. A low level of hemoglobin is a sign of.

Hematocrit or packed cell volume (PCV): This is the fraction of whole blood volume that consists of red blood cells. Red Blood Cell Indices RBC Indices are typically calculated from other measured RBC parameters. They include the MHC, MCHC, MCV and RDW. Automated analyzers measure MCV directly, and use it and the RBC to calculate the Hematocrit. MCV (MCV): the average volume of the red cells, measured in.

Is classified as or if the MCV value is above or below the expected normal range; anemias are classified as normocytic if the MCV is within the expected range. Other conditions that can affect MCV include, and/or. MCH (MCH): the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell, in. MCHC (MCHC): the average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells. In, such as caused by an iron deficiency, the MCHC is decreased.

RDW (RDW): reflects the degree of variation in size and shape of red blood cells as calculated by automated analyzers. RDW determination, in conjunction with RBC count and MCV, is useful in the interpretation of several hematological disorders. The RDW is measured as a coefficient of variation of red cell size distribution. Platelets numbers are given, as well as information about their size and the range of sizes in the blood. (MPV): a measurement of the average size of platelets. Results An example of reference ranges for a complete blood count. Note that test names, measurement units and reference ranges may vary between countries and laboratories.

Patient results should always be interpreted using the units and reference ranges from the laboratory that produced the results. Example of of white blood cells. Interpretation Certain states are defined by an absolute increase or decrease in the number of a particular type of cell in the bloodstream. For example: Type of cell Increase Decrease (RBC) or or (WBC): – – – –: – – or – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – All cell lines – Many disease states are heralded by changes in the blood count: can be a sign of infection; can result from drug toxicity; is generally referred to as the result of decreased production from the, and is a common complication of References.
