Plan of Investigation for Anaemia | Types | Blood Diseases | Biology

The first and foremost investigation in any suspected case of anaemia is to carry out the hemoglobin estimation. Several methods are available but most reliable and accurate is the cyanmethaemoglobin (HiCN) method employing Drabkin's solution and a spectrophotom­eter. If the hemoglobin value is below the lower limit of the normal range for particular age and sex, the patient is said [...]

Top 4 Indices of Red Blood Cells (RBC) | Types | Blood Cells | Biology

The following points highlight the top four indices of red blood cells. The indices are: 1. Mean Cell Volume 2. Increased MCV 3. Decreased MCV 4. Mean Cell Hemoglobin. 1. Mean Cell Volume (MCV): The mean cell volume indicates the volume of the "average" red cell in a sample. It is expressed in femtoliters (fl; 10-15 liters). Traditionally, MCV was [...]

Determination of Blood Group | RBC | Blood Cells | Biology

In this article we will discuss about the determination of blood group. Blood type (also called blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells. If the red blood cell had only "A" antigen on it, that blood was called type A. If the [...]
