Recently several parameters have been introduced to the complete blood count such as
nucleated red blood cells, immature granulocytes; immature reticulocyte fraction, immature …

This revision is intended to update the 1994 ICSH guidelines. It is based on those guidelines
but is updated to include new methods, such as digital image analysis for blood cells, a flow …

Background: Quality specifications for automated blood cell counts include topics that go
beyond the traditional analytic stage (imprecision, inaccuracy, quality control) and extend to …

The CBC count and leukocyte differential count (LDC) are among the most frequently
requested clinical laboratory tests. These analyses are highly automated, and the correct …

This revision is proposed for the evaluation of blood cell analysers to assess the
performance, advantages and limitations of such instruments. It is based on the ICSH …

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean
corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were first introduced by Wintrobe in 1929 to …

Using the new Bayer H* 3 hematology analyzer (Leverkusen, Germany), we have
determined red blood cell and reticulocyte indices in 64 healthy subjects, in patients with …

Introduction Anemia is a global problem affecting the population in both developing and
developed countries, and there is a debate on which hemoglobin level limit should be used …

Haematology analysers provide quick and accurate results in most situations. However,
spurious results, related either to platelets (part I of this report) or to other parameters from …

Automated counting of reticulocytes has markedly increased the precision and accuracy of
this assay compared with the traditional manual counts. In addition, several new reticulocyte …
