Cbc with differential normal values.
A reference range and your results.
According to the u s.
White blood cells which help stop infections.
The primary function of the rbc is to deliver oxygen to tissues.
Mean corpuscular volume mcv is a measure of the size of the average rbc.
A blood differential test is often part of a complete blood count cbc.
The blood sample is sent to a lab for analysis.
Differential blood count is also used along with leukocyte count wbc to generate an absolute value for each type of white blood cells eg absolute neutrophil count absolute lymphocyte count or absolute eosinophil count which usually gives more meaningful information than the percentage of each since relative percentage can be misleading.
For a complete blood count a member of your health care team takes a sample of blood by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm usually at the bend in your elbow.
A complete blood count looks at the number of red blood cells rbcs present in a small amount of your blood.
If your results are inside the reference range they re considered normal.
Expressing absolute values are also useful for.
350 000 normal 150 000 400 000 hemoglobin.
When the white count is abnormal the differential segment can measure the percentage of the various types of white cells present.
Wbcs are key components of the immune system.
A cbc is used to measure the following components of your blood.

The values generally included.
The differential usually includes neutrophils bands eosinophils monocytes and lymphocytes.
The following are normal complete blood count results for adults.
White blood cell count wbc is the number of white blood cells in a volume of blood.
When you get your report you ll see two columns.
Normal range varies slightly between laboratories but is generally between 4 300 and 10 800 cells per cubic millimeter cmm.
For males the normal value is slightly higher at 4 7 to 6 1 million red blood cells per microliter.
Normal levels of wbcs for men and women are 4 300 10 800 cubic mm.
National library of medicine the normal value for a female is 4 2 to 5 4 million red blood cells per microliter 1 2.
Platelets play a vital role in blood clotting.
