, INTRODUCTION
• Why blood examination can answer these questions:
1. Is the marrow producing appropriate numbers of mature cells in
major hematopoietic lineages?
2. Is the development of each hematopoietic lineage qualitatively
normal?
3. Are there abnormal (e.g., leukemia or lymphoma) cells in the blo
• The blood should be examined according to quantitative and
qualitative (morphologic)

, AUTOMATED BLOOD CELL ANALYSIS
(CBC; Complete Blood Count )
• Automated blood cell analysis is the cornerstone of the modern hematology
laboratory.
• Allowing rapid, cost-effective, and accurate analysis of the cells of the blood
• They include:
• Mean cell volume (MCV)
• Red cell number
• Hemoglobin concentration
• Hematocrit
• Mean cell hemoglobin (MCH)
• Mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)
• Red cell distribution width (RDW)
• Leukocyte and their types.
• Platelet and their indices.
