What laboratory tests and techniques are commonly used in hematology to assess blood cell counts, morphology, and hemoglobin levels?
Answer / Vinay Kumar Dubey
Common laboratory tests and techniques include:
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC): This measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood.
2. Differential: This is a part of the CBC that identifies different types of white blood cells.
3. Hemoglobin level: This measures the amount of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, in the blood.
4. Peripheral smear: This is a microscopic examination of a drop of unstained blood that can help identify abnormalities in red and white blood cells and platelets.
5. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: These are procedures used to examine the cells in the bone marrow.
