Removing all the blood cells leaves the liquid part of the blood: plasma. Serum, in turn, is plasma without the components responsible for blood clotting (fibrin). <strong>Measuring the numbers of the different blood cells, as well as haematocrit and haemoglobin concentration, is known as a full blood count.<\/strong> A full blood count is a popular, very frequently performed test involving their quantitative and qualitative analysis.<\/p>\n<p>People who feel healthy should have a blood test once a year as a preventive measure. In addition to a basic full blood count, it is advisable to have blood glucose, a lipid profile and <a href=\"https:\/\/badamysie.pl\/produkt\/badanie-ob-2\/\">ESR<\/a> measured.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/badamysie.pl\/en\/produkt\/full-blood-count-laboratory-test\/\">full blood count<\/a>, as well as an <a href=\"https:\/\/badamysie.pl\/produkt\/badanie-ob-2\/\">ESR<\/a> test, is performed to check whether you have anaemia or inflammation. Remember that the earlier any abnormalities are detected, the greater the chance of a complete recovery, which is why preventive tests play such an important role. If you are experiencing pain, a full blood count and other tests help establish its cause.<\/p>\n<p>You should have a full blood count on an empty stomach, because test results can change with daily fluctuations. Results may differ between the morning and the afternoon. Physical exertion or stress can also affect the result. In addition, some medicines reduce the white blood cell count. Many factors influence blood test results; you should always remember this and take it into account when analysing the tests performed. Results should always be interpreted by a doctor. The result report is issued in Polish.<\/p>\n<p>PARAMETER REFERENCE RANGE WHAT A RESULT ABOVE OR BELOW THE REFERENCE RANGE MEANS<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Erythrocytes (RBC \u2013 Red Blood Cell)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This test tells you the number of erythrocytes in 1 \u00b5l of blood. Erythrocytes are disc-shaped, biconcave blood cells that play a very important role: transporting life-sustaining oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues in your body, and transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs so that it can be expelled into the air. Their production, which takes place in the bone marrow, requires a range of micronutrients and macronutrients \u2013 the most important are iron, vitamin B<sub>12<\/sub> and folate (folic acid). An individual erythrocyte lives for 120 days, after which it is destroyed in the reticuloendothelial system, located in the spleen and liver.<\/p>\n<p>infants \u2013 3.8 M\/\u00b5l, women \u2013 3.9\u20135.6 M\/\u00b5l, men \u2013 4.5\u20136.5 M\/\u00b5l<\/p>\n<p>A result above the reference range occurs very rarely, mainly in people spending time at high altitudes in the mountains.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>o The most common cause of an increased erythrocyte count is dehydration (the blood becomes more concentrated, so erythrocytes account for a greater proportion of its volume).<\/li>\n<li>o Conditions causing chronic oxygen deficiency in the body.<br \/>\nErythrocytes carry oxygen in your body, so their production increases in response to oxygen deficiency. When this occurs, the kidneys start producing more erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce erythrocytes. Oxygen deficiency can occur in the following situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>o <strong>spending time at high altitudes.<\/strong> In high mountain areas, air pressure is lower, making gas exchange in the lung alveoli more difficult.<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>smoking cigarettes.<\/strong> Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide. Because it has a much greater ability to bind to haemoglobin than oxygen does (7 times greater), inhaling tobacco smoke causes carboxyhaemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen, to form in place of oxygenated haemoglobin.<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)<\/strong> \u2013 a common condition associated with oxygen deficiency. It involves numerous long pauses in breathing (lasting even several minutes) during sleep. During these pauses, the oxygen reserves in erythrocytes are depleted, resulting in oxygen deficiency.<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>congenital heart defects<\/strong> in which deoxygenated (venous) blood mixes with oxygenated (arterial) blood \u2013 these include atrial or ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and rare conditions such as tetralogy of Fallot or transposition of the great arteries.<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>lung diseases<\/strong> \u2013 deoxygenated venous blood flows from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where gas exchange takes place: erythrocytes release carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>) and take up oxygen (O<sub>2<\/sub>). Once oxygenated, the blood flows to the left ventricle of the heart and then to all your organs and tissues. Lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the less common pulmonary fibrosis or cystic fibrosis, impair gas exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>o A very rare disease that causes an increase in haematocrit is polycythaemia vera, in which erythrocyte production increases uncontrollably.<\/li>\n<li>o Tumours that secrete erythropoietin (EPO) are also an extremely rare cause of an increased haematocrit.<\/li>\n<li>o The effects of glucocorticoids during steroid treatment or in Cushing&#8217;s syndrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A reduced erythrocyte count indicates anaemia. It may result from blood loss or a deficiency of iron, vitamin B12 or folate (folic acid). A lower erythrocyte count also occurs in pregnant women and in kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>The following types of anaemia can be distinguished:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>o <strong>nutritional deficiency anaemia<\/strong> \u2013 this is the most common type of anaemia. It is most often caused by a deficiency of iron, vitamin B12 or folate (folic acid), substances needed to produce erythrocytes. The most common cause of iron deficiency is chronic bleeding; other causes include malabsorption syndromes or increased requirements (e.g. during puberty or pregnancy).<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>anaemia of chronic disease<\/strong> \u2013 chronic disease is the second most common cause of anaemia after iron deficiency. Various infections, cancers and autoimmune diseases activate the immune system, resulting in reduced erythrocyte production.<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>post-haemorrhagic anaemia<\/strong> \u2013 sudden or chronic blood loss causes fluid to move from the extracellular space into the blood vessels, diluting the blood and therefore reducing the haematocrit.<\/li>\n<li>o haemolytic anaemia \u2013 this type of anaemia is caused by abnormal, premature breakdown of erythrocytes.\n<ul>\n<li>o Haemolytic anaemia is divided into <strong>congenital<\/strong> \u2013 where erythrocytes break down because of their abnormal structure (e.g. hereditary spherocytosis, thalassaemias) \u2013 and acquired, where erythrocytes have a normal structure but a factor causes them to break down (e.g. antibodies against erythrocytes, an artificial heart valve, infections)<\/li>\n<li>o <strong>aplastic anaemia<\/strong> \u2013 this occurs when the bone marrow, where erythrocytes are produced, is damaged (exposure to ionising radiation, toxic chemicals or certain medicines).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>o the body is overhydrated, although this is very rare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Haemoglobin (HGB)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Haemoglobin is a protein contained in erythrocytes whose function is to carry oxygen molecules from the lungs to peripheral tissues. It is haemoglobin that gives erythrocytes their red colour. This test tells you how many grams of haemoglobin are present in 1 litre of peripheral blood. It is the best test for diagnosing anaemia. When deciding whether to give a blood transfusion, a doctor bases the decision on the result of this test.<\/p>\n<p>A reduced haemoglobin level is generally caused by anaemia and also occurs when the body is overhydrated.<\/p>\n<p>An increased haemoglobin concentration indicates polycythaemia and also occurs with disturbances of fluid and electrolyte balance (dehydration).<\/p>\n<p>women \u2013 6.8\u20139.3 mmol\/l or 11.5\u201315.5 g\/dl,<br \/>\nmen \u2013 7.4\u201310.5 mmol\/l or 13.5\u201317.5 g\/dl<\/p>\n<p>A result above the reference range indicates dehydration.<\/p>\n<p>Low values are a sign of anaemia.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Haematocrit (HCT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This provides information on the percentage of blood made up of cellular elements, specifically erythrocytes, or red blood cells.<\/p>\n<p>An increased value indicates polycythaemia or dehydration. A reduced value indicates anaemia.<\/p>\n<p>children up to 15 years: 35\u201339%,<br \/>\nwomen: 37\u201347%,<br \/>\nmen: 40\u201351%<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)<\/strong>, referred to as macrocytosis \u2013 the average volume of a red blood cell<\/h3>\n<p>80\u201397 fl<\/p>\n<p>An increased MCV does not indicate disease, but if it exceeds 110 fl, anaemia caused by vitamin B12 or folate (folic acid) deficiency may be expected.<\/p>\n<p>A reduced MCV (called microcytosis) is most often the result of iron deficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin)<\/strong><br \/>\nthe average amount of haemoglobin in a red blood cell; it helps determine whether erythrocytes contain a normal amount, too little or too much haemoglobin<\/p>\n<p>26\u201332 pg<\/p>\n<p>A reduced MCH indicates hypochromia (most often in iron deficiency anaemia).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration)<\/strong><br \/>\nthe average concentration of haemoglobin in a red blood cell, a measure of how fully erythrocytes are filled with haemoglobin (similar to MCH)<\/p>\n<p>31\u201336 g\/dl or 20\u201322 mmol\/l<\/p>\n<p>A reduced MCHC is typical of iron deficiency anaemia and is often seen in menstruating women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>White blood cells (WBC \u2013 White Blood Cell)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are almost colourless, less numerous than erythrocytes and capable of movement. They live from a few days (granulocytes) to as long as 20 years (memory B lymphocytes). Their role is to protect the body against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. All white blood cells express a molecule. White blood cells are a fundamental component of the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>White blood cells are divided into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>agranulocytes<\/b> \u2013 which include:\n<ul>\n<li><i>lymphocytes<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>monocytes<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>granulocytes<\/b> \u2013 which include:\n<ul>\n<li><i>neutrophils<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>eosinophils<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>basophils<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>4.1\u201310.9 K\/\u00b5l (G\/l)<\/p>\n<p>An increase above the reference range signals an infection, localised or generalised inflammation, or leukaemia (increased values also occur with intense physical exertion, prolonged excessive stress, and even after extended sunbathing).<\/p>\n<p>A reduced white blood cell count may be caused by a deficiency of granulocytes, lymphocytes or all cell types at the same time.
