Subject matter covered
The four major components of blood, namely, red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma, will be discussed. Major emphasis include:
1. Nomenclature (terminology)2. Morphology of formed elements3. Hematologic theories and techniques
In addition, the molecular basis, biochemistry and pathophysiology of blood diseases will be discussed with a major emphasis on the laboratory aspects of differential diagnosis of these diseases.

Hematocrit (Hct)
• When anticoagulated whole blood is centrifuged, the space occupied by the packed red blood cells.
• Normal range : 42~52% for men
36~46% for womenPlasma

Red blood cell count
• The red blood cells count (RBC) is the number of red blood cells in 1 μl of whole blood.
• Normal range :
4.2~5.4 million / μl for men
3.6~5.0 million / μl for women

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
• The MCV indicates the average volume of the red blood cells.
• MCV =
= (fl)
• Normal value for the MCV : 80~97 fl• If the MCV is less than 80 fl, the RBCs are microcytic. If the MCV is
greater than 97 fl, the RBCs are macrocytic. If the MCV is within the normal range, the RBCs are normocytic.

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
• The MCHC is an expression of the average concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. It gives the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the volume of the red blood cells.
• MCHC =
=
• Normal value for the MCHC : 32~36 %

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
An MCHC below 32% indicates hypochromia, an MCHC above 36% indicates hyperchromia, and red blood cells with a normal MCHC are termed normochromic. Please note that an MCHC above 38% should not occur.

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
• The MCH indicates the average weight of hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
• MCH =
=
• Normal value for the MCH : 27~31 pg
• An MCH lower than 27 pg is found in microcytic anemia and also with normocytic, hypochromic RBCs. An elevated MCH occurs in macrocytic anemia and in some cases of spherocytosis in which hyperchromia may be present.

Red cell distribution width (RDW)
• RDW is an index of the variation of red cell size (volume) in a specimen of blood
• RDW=
• RDW=

• Advantages of having RDW 1. Recognize RBC abnormality from CBC 2. Assist in differential diagnosis 3. Following the course of a disease
