Clinical Utility of Blood Cell Histogram Interpretation
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 9
Abstract
An automated haematology analyser provides blood cell histograms by plotting the sizes of different blood cells on X-axis and their relative number on Y-axis. Histogram interpretation needs careful analysis of Red Blood Cell (RBC), White Blood Cell (WBC) and platelet distribution curves. Histogram analysis is often a neglected part of the automated haemogram which if interpreted well, has significant potential to provide diagnostically relevant information even before higher level investigations are ordered.
