Peripheral Blood Analysis.

The complete Peripheral Blood Analysis is:

Complete blood count + platelet + reticulocyte

It includes:

1. COMPLETE BLOOD

a) Red series (erythrocyte)

  • Erythrocytes (RBC).
  • Hemoglobin.
  • Erythrocyte constants (MCV, MCH, MCHC) when the complete blood count is done by a machine.
  • Hematocrit.
  • Description of the red series (color, size, shape of erythrocytes, granulations).
  • Reticulocyte.

b) Sedimentation (The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation)

c) White series (leukocyte)

  • Leukocytes (WBC).
  • Leukocyte Formula.
  • Description of the white series (shape, size, granulations).
2. PLATELET SERIES
  • Platelets (Plt).
  • Description of the platelet series (size, granules).

Today, peripheral blood analysis in most laboratories is performed using Cell Counter machines. With today's clinical laboratory rules to get the complete blood analysis, you need to write:

  1. Hemogram.
  2. Description of the morphology of the red series (and of the other two series, leukocyte and platelet).
  3. Reticulocyte.
  4. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
  5. Leukocyte formula on a peripheral blood smear.
  6. Counted platelet on a peripheral blood smear (the exact number of platelets is that of the platelets counted on a peripheral blood smear and by a specialist).

If "Complete blood + formula" is noted, the patient does not get platelets and reticulocyte. So, this way of writing for peripheral blood analysis is incorrect (the leukocyte formula is included within the complete blood).

If the analysis is not complete, often the hematologist is forced to send the patient again for blood analysis (at a cost to the patient and the laboratory).

The Hematologist should not give an answer even when one of the elements of the Peripheral Blood Analysis is missing.

Hello, a little more information about reticulocytes would be very helpful

Sent by gezim bregu, më 02 July 2016 në 12:07

Hello, reticulocytes are the precursors of erythrocytes (red blood cells), their normal range is 0-20 per thousand or 0-2%. Their increase indicates an increase in the function of Erythropoiesis, which is the process of producing erythrocytes from the Bone Marrow

Greetings for the information with competence, where I find the opportunity to thank you. It is help for us leukemia patients.
If possible, I would like to ask: in blood tests, if the elements LYM%, LYM#, MON, GRA% are outside the reference norms, what situation does it indicate?
With respect, Agur Aliraj

Sent by Agur, më 11 October 2017 në 10:09

Hello Agur, the references for devices vary. In hematology, we use references that are generally broader than those produced by the devices. Not everything that the device outputs is completely accurate (it is assessed by a specialist in Microscopy and even more accurate is the assessment with Flow Cytometry, which is not done in daily practice). It is good for you to write the analysis as you have it and for us to assess the deviation from the references and their importance

Hello Lili, your white blood cell count is normal. A "stick" refers to a precursor cell of neutrophils, known as "Band" in English. If their number increases, it indicates that there is an increased demand for neutrophils, which are the cells that protect the body from infections. It can also increase in the absence of infections, such as in blood diseases, etc

Hello AE, the analysis above shows a slight increase in leukocytes and neutrophils, which in most cases is reactive, a response to inflammation, stress. The value of platelets is also needed for a better judgment. As a rule, we repeat the analysis after a few days to see if it is something transient or persistent

Hello doctor,
In my 5-year-old son's blood tests, everything came back within normal values except for: MPV is low at 7.2 (reference values 8-11) and LYM % 53.5 (15-50).
What do these two values imply, is there cause for concern? Thank you very much

Hello Klara, these parameters that you have presented have no importance. If you have only had an iron deficiency, you need to measure ferritinemia (the minimal normal value for adult females is 20 ng/ml and the optimal value is 60-70 ng/ml), if you have also had anemia, you should measure hemoglobin (above 12 gr/dl in females)

-Meanwhile, I notice regarding Lymphocytes (LYM)% and Lymphocytes (LYM) that there begins an increase in them, a slight increase, and I have noticed it in the subsequent analyses, after October 2019, in the analyses of the date 11.07.2020,: 1)Lymphocytes (LYM)% from 52% from (25-45) and
2)Lymphocytes (LYM) 4.21 from (0.8-3.30),

(Not paying attention at that time, perhaps as a simple momentary infection that could pass, I now notice that even in the analyses done a few days ago, date 05.12.2020, 41.2%(25-40)... it means that the infection continues to be in the body still, which makes me pay more attention this time with more concern!

-How can I please, from a medical perspective, analyze this indicator more closely to understand more deeply regarding health?
And how problematic or concerning is this indicator?

I have always had lymphocytes within norms, in order... until July of this year when the change starts and which is still continuing to be slightly high?
(If it can help with other indicators regarding their result to have more complete information, let me know so I can write them down again)

Sent by Mina, më 14 December 2020 në 15:35

Hello Mina, many factors influence the number of platelets and antibiotics can too. Always be careful in counting them and the exact value is the number under a microscope, by a doctor specialized in counting them

In the urine analysis, 2-3 white streaks and some squamous epithelial cells were found. Now, the problem lies in the values of MCV, RDW-SD, MPV that have a minus sign in front which I believe is not normal and this has worried me, I have sent the photos to the family doctor since I cannot physically go this week and I have not received a reply, therefore, I was forced to write here. The reason why I did the analyses is because I have been preparing for 8-9 months since I got some small glands around the thigh on the left leg, add here that 9 months ago I had a terrible back pain that lasted almost 1 month but I treated it with rheumatology sedatives and did MRI and X-rays and it showed mild scoliosis and damage to the discs near the nerve which could cause hernia if it gets more damaged. Add here allergies, stomach and abdominal pain, also during childhood I had foreign tissue removed from my nose and for this reason, I fear the repetition of something like that in other parts of the body although the previous analyses did not show something like that. I am 24 years old. For whatever problem it may be, I would kindly ask you to reply.

I see that they are slightly elevated compared to the norms: WBC 4.54, RVC 5.33, HGB 17.1, HCT 48.4, MCV 90.08, MCH 32.1 AND PLT (platelets) 213. Please, could this be a problem for further examinations?

Hello! I have a 13-year-old daughter and in November, I had her undergo tests: Reticulocyte 0.5, Transferrin 272, Ferritin < 10.0, VitB12 237, Folic Acid 6.1, Bilirubin 1.2, WBC 8.66, RBC 4.44, HGB 12.3, Hct 35.6, MCH 27.6, PLT 191. She took Ferrograd 320 ml. In January, the Reticulocyte was 0.3, Hgb 13.3, Rbc 4.52, HCT 35.9, Wbc 11.20, Plt 202, she took medication again. Now in April, the blood parameters remained the same and the RETICULOCYTE again 0.3, Ferritin 63.7, total bilirubin 1.3. I am worried about the Reticulocyte values… Thank you in advance!

Hello Dr. Sotiraq Lako, my mother, who is 57 years old, has been experiencing a decrease in leukocytes for 13 years now and has been under antidepressant treatment. However, during the COVID period, when routine analyses were mandatory in 2020, my mother underwent routine testing and we noticed a decrease in leukocytes. Fearing it might be leukemia, she did not repeat the tests, but now she has completed all the analyses: WBC 1.9, Lym% 70.1, Mid% 14.2, Gra 0.2, Gra% 8.5, RBC 4.04, HGB 124, HCT 35.1, PLT 303, LDH-283.9. Uric acid 307, liver is enlarged at 166mm with diffuse steatosis, spleen is normal in size and shape with homogenous echo structure, no enlarged lymph nodes, peripheral blood smear shows normochromic normocytic erythrocytes, leukocytes without morphological changes, and platelets are present. Clinically, she is doing very well with no fatigue or paleness, and she doesn't get sick often despite the low leukocytes. But the concern is whether they can be corrected or if they might stay low for life
