Platelet CountDetailsHide
Platelet Count - Lab test
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)DetailsHide
Key Details About ESR:
- Purpose: Detects and monitors inflammation, rather than diagnosing a specific disease.
- Procedure: A blood sample is taken, usually with no special preparation (no fasting required).
- What it measures: Increased inflammation produces proteins that cause red blood cells to clump together and settle faster.
Reasons for Elevated ESR:
- Infections: Such as pneumonia, bone infections, or systemic infections.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus (SLE).
- Chronic Diseases: Kidney disease, cancers.
- Other Factors: Pregnancy and age can also cause higher levels.
Limitations:
- ESR is non-specific; a high ESR does not always mean a severe underlying condition, and a normal ESR does not entirely rule out inflammation.
- It is often used along with other tests, such as C-reactive protein (CRP).
Peripheral blood smear examination (PS)DetailsHide
Key Components Evaluated:
- Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Evaluated for size (microcytic/macrocytic), color (hypochromic/normochromic), and shape (poikilocytosis). Key findings include sickle cells, target cells, and schistocytes (fragmented cells).
- White Blood Cells (WBCs): Analyzed for total count, differential count (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), and morphology. Immature cells or abnormal shapes indicate conditions like leukemia or infections.
- Platelets: Assessed for number and size; low numbers (thrombocytopenia) or large, abnormal platelets can be identified.
Common Indications for a Peripheral Smear:
- Unexplained Anemia: Determining causes like iron deficiency (hypochromic microcytic) or hemolysis.
- Abnormal CBC Results: Following up on unusual automated counts.
- Suspected Leukemia/Bone Marrow Disorders: Identifying immature or abnormal WBCs.
- Infections: Detecting blood parasites (e.g., Malaria, Babesia).

Hemoglobin (Hb)DetailsHide
Key Aspects of Hemoglobin
- Function: It is responsible for giving blood its red color and for the essential transport of gases throughout the body.
- Low Hemoglobin (Anemia): Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Common causes include iron deficiency, chronic diseases (kidney disease, cancer), and blood loss.
- High Hemoglobin (Polycythemia): This can result from high altitude, smoking, dehydration, or conditions like polycythemia vera.
- Normal Levels: Levels can vary by age, gender, and lifestyle.
  Adult Men: 14-18 g/dL
  Adult Women: 12-16 g/dL
  Children (1-6 years): 9.5-14 g/dL
  Pregnant Individuals: > 11g/dL
Why the Test is Done
- To check for anemia.
- To evaluate overall health (routine checkup).
- To manage chronic diseases, such as kidney disease or cancers.
