invading microbes

Lymphocytes:
Function: they recognize antigen,produce antibodies & destroy cells
that cause damage
Monocytes:
Function:when certain germs enter,they quickly rush to the site of
attack
Normal Values:0.04-0.44
Units: (x10*9/L)
High:Parasitic infection,allergic reaction
Low:Bone marrow disorder(not too much medically important)

Function:they contain anticoagulant Heparin,which prevents blood
from clotting to quickly.They contain histamin which promote blood
flow to tissues as vasodilator.

High:Microcytic anemia,
Low:Macrocytic anemia
Red Cell Distribution Width(RDW-CV):
it is measure of range of variation of rbc volume
Normal Values:12-15
Units:%
High:Nutritional deficiency
Low:Macrocytic anemia
RDW-SD have a unit of fLand its normal value is from 48-54
Mean Platelet Volume(MPV):
It measures average size of platelets
PCT:
volume occupied by platelet in blood as percentage
Unit: %
Serum Iron:
Measure amount of circulating iron that bound transferrin (90%) and
serum ferritin (10%)
Normal Values:40-75
Unit :micromol/L
High:high level of iron in blood,pregnancy,oral contraceptives
Low:inflammation and liver diseases
Serum ferritin:
It tells how much your body iron stores.
Normal value:
Male: 40-340
Female: 14-150
Unit: microgram/l
High: high intake of iron.
Low:iron deficiency anemia.
Serum vitamin b12;
It play essential role in production of rbc and DNA.
