Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count
Males: 4.21 - 5.81 million/mm3 (5)
Females: 36% - 48% (39)
Hematocrit
Males: 42% - 52% (45)
Females: 11.7 - 15.5 g/dL (13)
Hemoglobin
Males: 14 - 17.3 g/dL (15)
White Blood Cell (WBC) Count 4.50 - 11.1 103/mm3
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) 1.5 to 8.0 (1,500 to 8,000/mm3)
Platelets 150,000 - 450,000/µL
, -Indicates that more immature cells are present in the blood than normal
What does a WBC shift to the left mean?
-Occurs with acute infection, inflammation, or some other significant physical stress
Occurs when there is a reduction in the oxygen-carrying capacity through either
What is anemia?
fewer RBCs or a reduction in hemoglobin
-Shortness of breath
-Tachypnea
What are symptoms of decreased -Tachycardia
hematocrit? -Pallor
-Fatigue
-Dizziness

What are dietary sources of iron?
-Iron-fortified breakfast cereals and breads
-Cream of Wheat
-Ingesting citrus fruits such as oranges or grapefruits increases the vitamin C intake
and may improve iron absorption
-Fatigue
-Pallor
What are clinical manifestations of iron- -Tachycardia
deficiency anemia? -Tachypnea

-Koilonychia (spoon-shaped nails)
-A complete blood count (CBC) demonstrates decreased hemoglobin and
hematocrit levels
How is iron-deficiency anemia diagnosed? -Serum ferritin levels less than or equal to 100 ug/L indicate IDA 100% of the time
