BLD 324 CASE STUDIES EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ LATEST UPDATE What does MCV classify Morphological Classification of Anemia How is MCV calculated? (HCT*10)/RBC Microcytic MCV 80 fL Macrocytic MCV 100 fL Normocytic MCV 80-100 fL Hypochromic Abnormal decrease in the Hb content of RBCs so that they appear pale with a larger central pallor when stained with Wright stain. MCHC 32 Hyperchromic MCHC 36 Normochromic Describes a Wright-stained RBC with normal color and normal Hb content with a mean cell Hb cx within the reference interval. MCHC 32-36 MCHC (Hb*100)/Hct Anisocytosis Abnormal variation in RBC volume or diameter. Corrected Reticulocyte Count Calculation performed to correct the visual reticulocyte count for specimens with a hematocrit below 45% to the equivalent reticulocyte count at a hematocrit of 45%. In anemia, the visual reticulocyte percentage in misleadingly elevated because whole blood contains fewer red blood cells relative to reticulocytes. Absolute Reticulocyte Count Reticulocytes per liter. The absolute reticulocyte count is calculated by multiplying the total WBC count by the percentage of segmented neutrophils and bands or may be counted directly using an automated hematology analyzer.
