Interpreting hand blood picture results requires a comprehensive understanding of the normal ranges of blood components. The following table outlines the typical reference ranges:
Component | Normal Range |
---|---|
Red blood cells (RBCs) | 4.5-5.9 million cells/μL |
White blood cells (WBCs) | 4.0-10.0 thousand cells/μL |
Platelets | 150-400 thousand platelets/μL |
Hemoglobin | 13.5-17.5 g/dL (for men) |
Hemoglobin | 12.0-15.5 g/dL (for women) |
Hematocrit | 40-50% (for men) |
Hematocrit | 36-46% (for women) |
Deviations from the normal ranges may indicate underlying health issues. For example:
