Globulin is a group of proteins found in your blood. It plays an essential role in various functions in your body, such as immune system support, blood clotting, and transport of hormones and…
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) refers to the variability of erythrocyte volume. It expresses the difference in the size of the red blood cell counts. Under physiological conditions,…
Basophils are granulocytes with a diameter of 10-12 micrometers, present in both bone marrow and peripheral blood. They have a irregularly segmented nucleus and dark purple granules in the cytoplasm…
The mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) determines the average concentration of red dye in a single red blood cell expressed as a weight. It is calculated from the haemoglobin concentration and the…
Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a measure of the average amount of haemoglobin in a unit volume of a red blood cell. It is calculated from the haemoglobin concentration and the…
The absolute count is the conversion of the percentage of Basophils to the total number of leukocytes in the bloodstream.
Lymphocytes are mature cells of the white blood component. They belong to the agranulocytes, with a diameter of 8-12 micrometers, only slightly larger than erythrocytes. They are present in the bone…
The absolute count is the conversion of the percentage of monocytes to the total number of leukocytes in the bloodstream.
The albumin/globulin ratio compares the levels of two types of proteins in your blood: albumin and globulins. Albumin is a specific protein, while globulins are a group of proteins that include…
Urine is an aqueous solution of soluble salts, organic matter and metabolic wastes produced by the purification of blood in the kidneys. The test is only specific for D-glucose; it does not…
A monocyte is a mature nongranular white blood cell. It is the largest white blood cell , with mostly irregular shape, 18-22 micrometers in diameter. It forms in the bone marrow and is found in both…
Platelet distribution width (PDW) provides an overview of platelet variability.
