- Female 3.8-5.1
- Child 3.5-5.0
-
WBC Ranges
- Male/ Female: 3.8-11.0

-
Differential
- Types of White cells:
- Bands: 1-5 %
- Lymphocytes: 14-44 %
- Monocytes: 2-6 %
- Eosiinophils: 1-5%
- Basophils: 0-1 %
-
Bands
- Less mature neutrophils : Increased values can indicate infection.
- Left shift
-
Segs
Mature Neutrophils, are also known as Segs
-
Neutrophils
These are the most common of the WBCs and serve as the primary defense against infection
-
Eosinophils (Eos)
- These cells play a role in allergic disorders and in combating parasitic infections
- .Elevations in eosinophil counts are associated with:Allergic reactions Parasite infections Chronic skin infections Some cancers
- Decreases in eosinophil counts are associated with:Stress Steroid exposure Anything that may suppress WBC production generally
-
Basophils (Baso's)
These cells can digest bacteria and other foreign bodies (phagocytosis) and also have some role in allergic reactions.
-
Monocytes (Mono's)
These cells respond to inflammation, infection and foreign bodies by ingesting and digesting the foreign material.
-
Lymphocytes (Lymphs)
- These cells play both an immediate and delayed role in response to infection or inflammation
- .Increased numbers of lymphocytes are seen in:Most viral infections Some bacterial infections Some cancers Graves' disease
- Decreased numbers of lymphocytes are seen in:Steroid exposure Some cancers Immunodeficiency Renal failure Lupus
-
Hemoglobin
- Hgb
- Male 14-18 g/dL
- Female 11-16 g/dL
- Child 10-14 g/dL
- Newborn 15-25 g/dL
-
Hematocrit
- Hct
- Measures the percentage of the volume of whole blood that is made up of red blood cells
- Male: 40.7 - 50.3%Female: 36.1 - 44.3% Chil 30-42%.
-
MVC
Mean corpuscular volume, (MCV), is a measure of the average red blood cell size 78-98 fL
-
MCH
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH),average amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside a red blood cell
- 27-35 pg
-
MCHC
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a calculation of the average concentration of hemoglobin inside a red cell.
- 31-37 %
-
Prothrombin Time Blood Test-PT
- This test is done to evaluate the blood for its ability to clot.
- Normal PT Values: 10-12 seconds
-
Partial Thromboplastin Time Blood Test-PTT
- This test is performed primarily to determine if heparin (blood thinning) therapy is effective. It can also be used to detect the presence of a clotting disorder. It does not show the effects of drugs called “low molecular weight heparin” or most commonly by the brand name Lovenox.
- Normal PTT Values: 30 to 45 seconds
-
International Normalized Ratio Blood Test-INR
Normal INR Values: 1 to 2
