  2. Red blood cell indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell_indices

    Red blood cell indices are blood tests that provide information about the hemoglobin content and size of red blood cells. Abnormal values indicate the presence of anemia and which type of anemia it is.

  3. Mentzer index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentzer_index

    The index is calculated from the results of a complete blood count. If the quotient of the mean corpuscular volume (MCV, in fL) divided by the red blood cell count (RBC, in million per microliter) is less than 13, β-thalassemia trait is said to be more likely. If the result is greater than 13, then iron-deficiency anemia is said to be more likely.

  4. Reticulocyte production index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte_production_index

    The reticulocyte index (RI) should be between 0.5% and 2.5% for a healthy individual. [8] RI < 0.5% with anemia indicates maturation disorder, meaning loss of red blood cells, but also decreased production of reticulocytes (i.e., an inadequate response to correct the anemia) and therefore red blood cells. [2]

  5. Mean corpuscular volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_volume

    The mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume (MCV), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or red blood cell). The measure is obtained by multiplying a volume of blood by the proportion of blood that is cellular (the hematocrit ), and dividing that product by the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in that volume.

  6. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_sedimentation_rate

    In non-inflammatory conditions, plasma albumin concentration, size, shape, and number of red blood cells, and the concentration of immunoglobulin can affect the ESR. Non-inflammatory conditions that can cause raised ESR include anemia, kidney failure, obesity, ageing, and female sex. [7] ESR is also higher in women during menstruation and ...

  7. Red blood cell distribution width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell...

    Red blood cells have an average volume of 80–100 femtoliters, but individual cell volumes vary even in healthy blood. [1] Certain disorders, however, cause a significantly increased variation in cell size. Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size. Normal reference range of RDW-CV in human red blood cells is 11.5–15.4%.

  9. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_hemoglobin

    The mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or "mean cell hemoglobin" (MCH), is the average mass of hemoglobin (Hb) per red blood cell (RBC) in a sample of blood. It is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. MCH value is diminished in hypochromic anemias. [1] RBCs are either normochromic or hypochromic. They are never "hyperchromic".
