Hello. My name is Roberta Rolla.
Today I'm going to talk about
the complete blood count.
It's a cornerstone of clinical
laboratory testing and
provides important insight into
methodological and
systemic health.

This presentation
provides in-depth
examination of the
complete blood count.
We will first analyze
the most common UCBC
techniques and then
explain how you can apply
this technical knowledge for
accurate interpretation
of the data.
Finally, we will look at
the new research parameters
that are not currently
reported and their
future application.

The complete blood count
is a routine test that
provides pivotal information for
the diagnosis of
various diseases.

This slide shows a list of the
main parameters analyzed in
the complete blood
count the units of
measurement and internationally
accepted reference intervals.
Note that the
reference intervals
may vary slightly by
laboratory and population.
As I will explain later,
there are actually
many more parameters
than indicated here.
The complete blood
counter provides

available diagnostic information
by analyzing various components.
The red blood cell serves as
an important indicator of
conditions such as
anemia, hypoxia,
and polycythemia and provides
important information about
oxygen transport
and overall health.
White blood cells are equally
important and help in the
diagnosis of infection,
inflammatory reactions,
and malignancies as
they reflect the activity
of the immune system.
Platelets play a central role in
the detection of
coagulation disorders and
provide information
about a possible risk
of bleeding or thrombosis.
In addition, new parameters
are now available and
provide deeper insights into
cell morphology
and cell activity.
These parameters are
available for research and
new clinical applications
and they improve
the understanding of
the underlying
pathophysiological processes.
The CBC test provides
