BLOOD TEST - 01AUG19
RED BLOOD CELL MORPHOLOGY
A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood,
especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your doctor check any symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, or...

ACTIVATED PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME
Blood clotting factors are needed for blood to clot (coagulation). The partial thromboplastin time is an important test because the time it takes your blood to clot may be affected by:
Blood-thinning medicine, such as heparin. Another test, the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test, may be used to find out if the right dose of heparin is being used.
Low levels of blood clotting factors.
A change in the activity of any of the clotting factors.
The absence of any of the clotting factors.
Other substances, called inhibitors, that affect the clotting factors.
An increase in the use of the clotting factors.
| Anticoagulation therapy | BASELINE | |
| APTT | 25.7 second(s) | 23.8 - 36.1 second(s) |
| Anticoagulation therapy | BASELINE | |
PROTHROMBIN TIME
Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures how long it takes for blood to clot. Prothrombin is one of several clotting
factors your body makes to help your blood form clots when a blood vessel is damaged.
A PT test may also be called an INR test (for international normalized ratio).
The test can be used to check for bleeding problems.

ELECTROLYTES (SODIUM, POTASSIUM, CHLORIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE)
An electrolyte panel is a blood test that measures the levels of electrolytes and carbon dioxide in your blood.
Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that are found in the body. They keep your body's fluids in
balance and help keep your body working normally, including your heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is also measured in this test. CO2 is a waste product made when the body breaks down food for
energy (metabolism). It takes the form of bicarbonate in the blood, so this part of the test is sometimes called a
bicarbonate test. Bicarbonate helps your blood stay at the right pH.
Your doctor may order an electrolyte panel as part of a regular health examination. Your doctor may use this test
to check on or diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor can also use an electrolyte panel to see if any medicines
that you take have changed your electrolyte levels.
An electrolyte panel measures the blood levels of carbon dioxide, chloride, potassium, and sodium.

| Sodium | 142 mEq/L | 135 - 145 mEq/L |

THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH)
A thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test is one of several blood tests used to check for thyroid gland problems. TSH causes the thyroid gland to make other important hormones that help control your body's metabolism

| TSH | 0.52 uIU/mL | 0.40 - 5.00 uIU/mL |
CBC (COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT)
A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood,
especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your doctor check any symptoms,
such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising, you may have. A CBC also helps him or her diagnose conditions, such
as anemia, infection, and many other disorders.
A CBC test usually includes:
White blood cell (WBC, leukocyte) count. White blood cells protect the body against infection. If an infection develops, white blood cells attack and destroy the bacteria, virus, or other organism causing it. White blood cells are bigger than red blood cells but fewer in number. When a person has a bacterial infection, the number of white cells rises very quickly. The number of white blood cells is sometimes used to find an infection or to see how the body is dealing with cancer treatment.
White blood cell types (WBC differential). The major types of white blood cells are neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Immature neutrophils, called band neutrophils, are also part of this test. Each type of cell plays a different role in protecting the body. The numbers of each one of these types of white blood cells give important information about the immune system. Too many or too few of the different types of white blood cells can help find an infection, an allergic or toxic reaction to medicines or chemicals, and many conditions, such as leukemia.
>LI>Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia), there is a chance that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries). This also makes it hard for your red blood cells to carry oxygen.
Hematocrit (HCT, packed cell volume, PCV). This test measures the amount of space (volume) red blood cells take up in the blood. The value is given as a percentage of red blood cells in a volume of blood. For example, a hematocrit of 38 means that 38% of the blood's volume is made of red blood cells. Hematocrit and hemoglobin values are the two major tests that show if anemia or polycythemia is present.
Hemoglobin (Hgb). The hemoglobin molecule fills up the red blood cells. It carries oxygen and gives the blood cell its red color. The hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in blood and is a good measure of the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Red blood cell indices. There are three red blood cell indices: mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). They are measured by a machine, and their values come from other measurements in a CBC. The MCV shows the size of the red blood cells. The MCH value is the amount of hemoglobin in an average red blood cell. The MCHC measures the concentration of hemoglobin in an average red blood cell. These numbers help in the diagnosis of different types of anemia. Red cell distribution width (RDW) can also be measured which shows if the cells are all the same or different sizes or shapes.
Platelet (thrombocyte) count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are the smallest type of blood cell. They are important in blood clotting. When bleeding occurs, the platelets swell, clump together, and form a sticky plug that helps stop the bleeding. If there are too few platelets, uncontrolled bleeding may be a problem. If there are too many platelets, there is a chance of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. Also, platelets may be involved in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
Mean platelet volume (MPV). Mean platelet volume measures the average amount (volume) of platelets. Mean platelet volume is used along with platelet count to diagnose some diseases. If the platelet count is normal, the mean platelet volume can still be too high or too low.
