Malnutrition (nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin B12, or vitamin B6)

Low numbers of WBCs (leukopenia) may indicate:

NORMAL VALUE 0-10 mm/hour 0-15 mm/hour 0-20 mm/hour

Bone marrow failure (for example, due to infection, tumor or fibrosis) Presence of cytotoxic substance Autoimmune/collagen-vascular diseases (such as lupus erythematosus) Disease of the liver or spleen Radiation exposure

High numbers of WBCs (leukocytosis) may indicate:

0-13 mm/hour 0-9 mm/hour 0-20 mm/hour

Infectious diseases Inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy) Leukemia Severe emotional or physical stress Tissue damage (SUCH AS burns)

Low hematocrit may indicate: What Abnormal Results Mean: High numbers of RBCs may indicate:

Low oxygen tension in the blood o Congenital heart disease o Cor pulmonale o Pulmonary fibrosis Polycythemia vera Dehydration (such as from severe diarrhea) Renal (kidney) disease with high erythropoietin production

Anemia (various types) Blood loss (hemorrhage) Bone marrow failure (for example, due to radiation, toxin, fibrosis, tumor) Hemolysis (RBC destruction) related to transfusion reaction Leukemia Malnutrition or specific nutritional deficiency Multiple myeloma Rheumatoid arthritis

High hematocrit may indicate:

Low numbers of RBCs may indicate:

Blood loss o Anemia (various types) o Hemorrhage Bone marrow failure (for example, from radiation, toxin, fibrosis, tumor) Erythropoietin deficiency (secondary to renal disease) Hemolysis (RBC destruction) Leukemia Multiple myeloma

Dehydration o Burns o Diarrhea Polycythemia vera Low oxygen tension (smoking, congenital heart disease, living at high altitudes)

Low hemoglobin values may indicate:

Anemia (various types) Blood loss
