What is the interpretation of the CBC experiment?
CBC is a common and important blood test and is almost always prescribed and evaluated alongside other tests. In this test, the components of the blood such as white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and their constituent factors are examined.
This test can diagnose certain diseases such as anemia, infection or inflammation, internal bleeding, coagulation-related diseases, cancers, as well as to assess the general health of the body or the destructive effects of treatments that affect blood cells. Affect like chemotherapy help.
WBC: The number of white blood cells, white blood cells are responsible for defending against viruses, bacteria and other destructive agents. Its full name is White blood cell count.
Causes of their reduction: Bone marrow-related diseases and defects in the immune system, severe infections, HIV, deficiency of copper and zinc, etc. reduce the number of white blood cells in the blood.
Causes of their increase: Infections, especially infections caused by bacteria and viruses, inflammation, allergies, leukemia, stress and strenuous physical activity are among the factors that cause an increase in white blood cells in the blood.
White blood cells are of different types, each of which is responsible for defending the body against various factors and includes:
Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils are at the bottom of the WBC test report (number of white blood cells). Their percentage is entered.
RBC: RBC represents the number of red blood cells and its full name is Red blood cell count.
Causes of their reduction: anemia, deficiency of vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid, iron deficiency, copper deficiency or excess, bone marrow problems, inflammation, kidney problems, long-term use of aspirin.
Causes of their increase: dehydration, lung problems, smoking, the presence of tumors in the kidneys or other organs that increase the production of erythropoietin.
HB: Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Deficiency is a sign of anemia and its increase is a sign of blood concentration and its full name is Hemoglobin.
Causes of its reduction: anemia, iron or copper deficiency, copper overload, vitamin B6, B12, folic acid and vitamin E deficiency.
Causes of its increase: smoking, air pollution and lack of oxygen, etc.
HCT: Hematocrit indicates the percentage of red blood cells relative to blood volume and should be checked with other blood factors such as RBC and Hb and its full name is Hematocrit.
MCV: MCV represents the average size of red blood cells and its full name is Mean corpuscular volume.
MCH: MCH means the average amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin into red blood cells (simply put, the amount of oxygen in the blood) and its full name is Mean corpuscular hemoglobin.
MCHC: Indicates the percentage of hemoglobin inside the red blood cell and its full name is Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
RDW: Indicates the red cell distribution range and its full name is Red cell distribution width.
Platelets: Platelets play a role in blood clotting. For example, when your hands are sore and bleeding, it is the platelets that cause the blood to coagulate and stop bleeding. Their low levels slow down the rate of blood clotting. Prolonged bleeding time, and high levels of them may inadvertently cause blood to clot in organs that should not happen. For example, people with high platelet counts may have blood clots in their arteries and stroke. Be heart or brain.
Causes of their reduction: viral infections such as mononucleosis, measles, hepatitis, use of some drugs such as acetaminophen, quinidine, etc., immune disorders, leukemia or lymph nodes, chemotherapy and radiation therapy
Causes of their increase: the presence of some cancers such as: lung, gastrointestinal tract, breast cancer, ovary, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation of the intestines and lupus, iron deficiency anemia, hemolytic anemia, etc.
MPV: Indicates platelet size and its full name is Mean platelet volume.
PDW: Indicates the platelet distribution range and its full name is Platelet distribution width.
Note: Some of these factors may temporarily decrease or increase for reasons other than illness, such as menstruation, pregnancy, strenuous exercise, steroid use, stress, and strain. Severe mental illness, recovery after surgery, fever and cold, insomnia for a long time, etc., which, of course, after the body is in a normal state, the amount of these factors should return to normal.
Fasting is not required for this test.
