  2. Acanthocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthocyte

    Acanthocyte (from the Greek word ἄκανθα acantha, meaning 'thorn'), in biology and medicine, refers to an abnormal form of red blood cell that has a spiked cell membrane, due to thorny projections. [1] [2] A similar term is spur cells. Often they may be confused with echinocytes or schistocytes.

  3. 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".

  4. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

  5. Crenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crenation

    Crenation is also used to describe a feature of red blood cells. These erythrocytes look as if they have projections extending from a smaller central area, like a spiked ball. The crenations may be either large, irregular spicules of acanthocytes, or smaller, more numerous, regularly irregular projections of echinocytes. [3]

    For example, $225K would be understood to mean $225,000, and $3.6K would be understood to mean $3,600. Multiple K's are not commonly used to represent larger numbers. In other words, it would look odd to use $1.2KK to represent $1,200,000. Ke – Is used as an abbreviation for Cost of Equity (COE).

  7. 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.

  8. Echinocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinocyte

    Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of echinocytes Echinocyte compared to other forms of poikilocytosis. Echinocyte (from the Greek word echinos, meaning 'hedgehog' or 'sea urchin'), in human biology and medicine, refers to a form of red blood cell that has an abnormal cell membrane characterized by many small, evenly spaced thorny projections.

  9. Normocytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normocytic_anemia

    An anemia is normocytic when the red blood cells (RBCs) are of normal size. RBCs are normocytic when the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is between 80 and 100 femtolitres (fL), which is within the normal and expected range. However, the hematocrit and hemoglobin are decreased. [1]
