Blood routine test report

The blood routine test report is a common examination item used to evaluate health status by detecting the number and morphology of various types of cells in the blood, mainly including indicators such as white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, platelet count, etc.

1. White blood cell count

White blood cell count reflects the immune status of the body. Elevated levels may indicate bacterial infections, inflammation, or blood system diseases; The reduction may be related to viral infection, radiation exposure, or drug side effects. Further analysis is required by combining the classification and counting of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and other cells. During acute infection, there may be an increase in the proportion of neutrophils, while during allergies or viral infections, the proportion of eosinophils or lymphocytes may increase.

2. Red blood cell related indicators

Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit are used to jointly evaluate anemia or polycythemia. Low hemoglobin is commonly seen in iron deficiency anemia, chronic blood loss, or hematopoietic dysfunction; Elevated levels may be related to dehydration, high-altitude adaptation, or bone marrow proliferative diseases. The average red blood cell volume and hemoglobin content can assist in determining the type of anemia, such as small cell hypochromic anemia, which is often caused by iron deficiency.

3. Platelet count

Platelet count reflects coagulation function. Reduced bleeding tendency may be caused by insufficient platelet production, splenic hyperfunction, or immune damage; The increase may be related to infection, trauma, or myeloproliferative disorders. When there are abnormalities, it is necessary to complete the peripheral blood smear examination to check the morphology of platelets and identify the risk of pseudo thrombocytopenia or thrombosis.

4. Joint analysis of indicators

Changes in the ratio of lymphocytes to monocytes can indicate viral infection or tuberculosis activity; Elevated levels of eosinophils require vigilance against allergies or chronic myeloid leukemia. An increase in the width of red blood cell distribution indicates a complex etiology of anemia, such as mixed nutrient anemia. The changes in dynamic monitoring indicators are more clinically significant than single results.

5. Misunderstandings in report interpretation

The test results should be judged based on individual differences. After intense exercise, white blood cells may briefly increase, and women during menstruation may have lower hemoglobin levels. Testing errors, blood collection procedures, or anticoagulant effects may lead to false abnormalities. The laboratory reference range is only applicable to the majority of the population, and specific physiological conditions such as pregnancy require the use of specialized standards. When abnormal blood routine is found, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive evaluation under the guidance of a doctor, taking into account medical history, physical signs, and other examinations. Anemia patients can increase their intake of iron rich foods such as animal liver and red meat; Individuals with reduced white blood cells should avoid the risk of infection. Do not overinterpret by comparing with reference values on your own. Before retesting, maintain a normal diet and sleep routine, and avoid vigorous exercise that may interfere with the results.
