Step 1

0 g/dL (normal range for males: 13.5-17.5 g/dL) - Hematocrit (HCT) is 35.0% (normal range for males: 38.8-50.0%) - Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is 70 fL (normal range: 80-100 fL) ** Show more…

00:01 Okay this question here says look at the complete blood count chart for an adult male below and use it to answer the following questions.

00:10 It says which values are normal and which are the following conditions that this patient show evidence of.

00:15 So in this case you have that the rbc or the red blood cell count is this is a male patient so the rbc in this case is within normal limits.

00:28 Now what about the hemoglobin? the hemoglobin for this patient is 11 okay and this patient is a male so it is low.

00:37 So this patient has anemia that is practically a mild anemia okay mild anemia.

00:41 Then what about the hematocrit? it is 35 % so it is also low because in males it is it ranges from 38 .8 to 50%.

00:52 Now the mean corpuscular volume or mcv is 70 it means it is decreased so this is a microcytic anemia actually.

01:01 Then what about the rdw that is for the red distribution width okay and it is normal it is normal.

01:12 Remember that in microcytic or well in iron depressant anemia your rdw is going to be it's going to be increased okay why? well because the rbcs are going to be in different with different shapes so this a value here is going to increase.

01:26 Now what about the white blood count? in this case it is normal then you have i'm going to use n for normal okay then you have the neutrophiles.

01:39 The neutrophiles in this case are also normal then the lymphocytes are also normal then you have the monocytes are also normal the eosinophiles are normal the vasophiles are also are also normal and finally the platelets responsible for blood coagulation is also is also normal...
