Hematological parameters are typically measured using a complete blood count (CBC) test. This test quantifies various blood components and provides information on:
- Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Their count and morphology. - White Blood Cells (WBCs): Their count and differential. - Platelets: Their count and size. - Hemoglobin: The amount of oxygen-carrying protein in RBCs. - Hematocrit: The proportion of blood volume occupied by RBCs. - Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): The average size of RBCs. - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH): The average amount of hemoglobin per RBC. - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): The average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of RBCs.
