Capillary blood collection in haematology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A capillary blood collection technique which facilitates the estimation of routine haematological parameters, including platelet count and sedimentation rate, is described. The technique requires 0.5 ml of blood, allows closer reproducibility than pipette collection methods, is suitable for monitoring blood counts in patients receiving cytotoxic agents, and can be integrated with semi-and fully-automated production lines.

International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) recommendations for "surrogate reference" method for the packed cell volume.
The spun packed cell volume (PCV, hematocrit) is a key measurement on which are based hematology instrument calibration, reference range determination, and assignment of values to calibrators/controls. In 2001, the International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) recommended a Reference PCV method, which is fully traceable to the ICSH reference hemoglobin method. Because of its c...
متن کاملRed cell membrane protein abnormalities as defined by sds-page among patients with anaemia in a west african region hospital practice
Background: Erythrocytes require an ability to deform and to withstand shear stress while negotiating the microcirculation. These properties are largely due to their excess surface area per volume and the characteristics of the membrane’s protein. Deficiencies of these proteins are associated with chronic haemolysis. Methods: This was a cross sectional study aimed at determining the prevalenc...
متن کاملStudy on the kinetics and influence of feline platelet aggregation and deaggregation.
BACKGROUND Feline platelets are prone to clumping after blood collection, rendering the determination of accurate platelet counts difficult for clinical laboratories and resulting in a high incidence of pseudothrombocytopenia in feline haematology reports. No information is available about the kinetics of platelet aggregate formation in feline ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood and the cours...

متن کاملBleeding and bruising in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other collagen vascular disorders.
Easy bruising and bleeding are not only characteristic manifestations of clotting and platelet disorders, they are also prominent features in some heritable collagen disorders, such as the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS). The EDS comprise a heterogeneous group of connective tissue diseases sharing clinical manifestations in skin, ligaments and joints, blood vessels and internal organs. Most EDS s...
