Red blood cell indices



Definition

Red blood cell (RBC) indices are calculations derived from the complete blood count that aid in the diagnosis and classification of anemia.

Purpose

Red blood cell indices help classify types of anemia, a decrease in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Healthy people have an adequate number of correctly sized red blood cells containing enough hemoglobin to carry sufficient oxygen to all the body's tissues. Anemia is diagnosed when either the hemoglobin or hematocrit of a blood sample is too low.


Description

Measurements needed to calculate RBC indices are the red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. The hematocrit is the percentage of blood by volume that is occupied by the red cells. The three main RBC indices are:

The mechanisms by which anemia occurs will alter the RBC indices in a predictable manner. Therefore, the RBC indices permit the physician to narrow down the possible causes of an anemia. The MCV is an index of the size of the RBCs. When the MCV is below normal, the RBCs will be smaller than normal and are described as microcytic. When the MCV is elevated, the RBCs will be larger than normal and are termed macrocytic. RBCs of normal size are termed normocytic.

Failure to produce hemoglobin results in smaller than normal cells. This occurs in many diseases, including iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia (an inherited disease in which globin chain production is deficient), and anemias associated with chronic infection or disease. Macrocytic cells occur when division of RBC precursor cells in the bone marrow is impaired. The most common causes of macrocytic anemia are vitamin B 12 deficiency, folate deficiency, and liver disease. Normocytic anemia may be caused by decreased production (e.g., malignancy and other causes of bone marrow failure), increased destruction (hemolytic anemia), or blood loss. The RBC count is low, but the size and amount of hemoglobin in the cells are normal.

A low MCH indicates that cells have too little hemoglobin. This is caused by deficient hemoglobin production. Such cells will be pale when examined under the microscope and are termed hypochromic. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of a hypochromic anemia. The MCH is usually elevated in macrocytic anemias associated with vitamin B 12 and folate deficiency.

The MCHC is the ratio of hemoglobin mass in the RBC to cell volume. Cells with too little hemoglobin are lighter in color and have a low MCHC. The MCHC is low in microcytic, hypochromic anemias such as iron deficiency, but is usually normal in macrocytic anemias. The MCHC is elevated in hereditary spherocytosis, a condition with decreased RBC survival caused by a structural protein defect in the RBC membrane.

Cell indices are usually calculated from tests performed on an automated electronic cell counter. However, these counters measure the MCV, which is directly proportional to the voltage pulse produced as each cell passes through the counting aperture. Electronic cell counters calculate the MCH, MCHC, hematocrit, and an additional parameter called the red cell distribution width (RDW).

The RDW is a measure of the variance in red blood cell size. It is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (a measure of variation) of RBC volume by the MCV and multiplying by 100. A large RDW indicates abnormal variation in cell size, termed anisocytosis. The RDW aids in differentiating anemias that have similar indices. For example, thalassemia minor and iron deficiency anemia are both microcytic and hypochromic anemias, and overlap in MCV and MCH. However, iron deficiency anemia has an abnormally wide RDW, but thalassemia minor does not.


Diagnosis/Preparation

RBC indices require 3–5 mL of blood collected by vein puncture with a needle. A nurse or phlebotomist usually collects the sample.


Aftercare

Discomfort or bruising may occur at the puncture site. Pressure to the puncture site until the bleeding stops reduces bruising; warm packs relieve discomfort. Some people feel dizzy or faint after blood has been drawn and should be allowed to lie down and relax until they are stable.


Risks

Other than potential bruising at the puncture site, and/or dizziness, there are no complications associated with this test. However, certain prescription medications may affect the test results. These drugs include zidovudine (Retrovir), phenytoin (Dilantin), and azathioprine (Imuran). When the hematocrit is determined by centrifugation, the MCV and MCHC may differ from those derived by an electronic cell counter, especially in anemia. Plasma trapped between the RBCs tends to cause an increase in the hematocrit, giving rise to a somewhat higher MCV and lower MCHC.

Normal results

Normal results for red blood cell indices are as follows:

Hello,
is it possible for someone to have a small size RBC and not be anemic?..what can be other causes of low size RBC?...
2
Dr.Ateeq
It is necessary for a patient to be anemic, having microcytosis..

anonymous 2
I have abnormally small RBCs but I am not anemic or even close to anemic. The doc doesn't know why this is, but I was there for multiple symptoms including major fatigue, aching under arms, inability to process fats (as tested), but a few CTs later and a couple of invasive tests--they don't see any tumors (looking for cancer) and Celiac was negative....but I definitely don't feel well. Are there other reasons for a small RBC? --I've never had anyone tell me this before....

Jennifer
I have a high MCH and a low MPV in my blood test. I saw that a MCH that is elevated is usually elevated in macrocytic anemias. what does that mean?
5
frances
great article!you should read this article.especially if you tend to have anemia
6
Cathy Kent
I'm not sure what all of the above means, all I know is I wa told I'm anemic my hemoglobin is was 9.0 but it is up to 10.6 now it dropped fro, 11.4 I've had other scanns done and they were negative but I do not feel well sometims. I get lighted a lot. My doctor wants me to go to a doctor tha specializes in blood. She mention there is something in my blood that should be elevated above wove 2000 to 8000 but mine is right at 2000. I won't see her until after I see the specialist can you please explain to me what this is all about.

WHAT IS EFFECT OF MCV IF IT IS MORE IN RBC INDICES, IF MCV IS 97FEMTOLITER IN BLOOD.SO PLZ LET ME KNOW SIDE EFFECT ON BODY
Hi i just got my results, i am from Australia, Lebanese background, and was told i have thalassemia which is from Mediterranian, Africans and Asians or hereditary . My iron level was tested too, it was 25, the doctor said thats "good", but i am afraid he could be wrong as i read somewhere else..it should be higher...the test said "either thalassemia/and or Iron deficiency" how do i know which one, as i am not sure if the doc is right..thanks
HELLO,
MY DAD IS INTENSIVE CARE BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN SICK. THEY SAY HIS RED CELLS ARE 7.9 (SEVERE). THEY PUT RED BLOOD INTO HIM AND IT DISAPPEARED. THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE IT WENT. HE HAS BEEN NOT EATING, PALE, AND SLEEPS ALOT BEFORE GOING INTO HOSPITAL. HE NOW HAS A BREATHING TUBE BECAUSE HIS HEART WAS RACING SO BAD. THEY WANT TO DO A COLONOSCOPY AND ENDOSCOPIC BUT HAVE TO WAIT TILL HE CAN UNDER ANESTHIA. THEY HAVE HIM HEAVILY SEDATED BECAUSE OF BREATHING TUBE. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE BLOOD WOULD GO. IF IT WAS LIKE LEUKIMIA IT WOULD HAVE SHOW UP ON BLOOD TEST. WOULD IT? PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU COULD.
THANKS VERY MUCH

I am folate deficient no matter how many supplements I take and my RBC count is low and my MCH level is high so it could possibly be pernicious anemia which is a common chronic condition oftentimes alleviated with monthly b-12 injections at any internal medicine physician's office.
Dear Sir, I recently experienced some minor fainting spells which took to an overnight stay in the hospital. Everything checked out fine and it was put down to a virus. However I was called back to take a further blood testwityh the comment [ One of the measurements of red blood cells [MCHC] were slightly on the high side, the rest of the tests were fine.]
Can you give me an indication of what they are looking for ?.
Best regards John H
hi im ASIAN(Filipino)female, 24 years olad.After consulting to an ortho dr here in riyadh saudi arabia,he diagnosed me with ARTHRITIS..i UNdergone xrays and laboratory like ESR,ASOT,Rheumatoid Factor,Uric acid all was normal but in my CBC shows somewhat bit increasingly deviated to normal.those result was:

total RBC - 4.44 10e6/uL
mchc -35.5 g/dl
mcv - 98.7 fl
mch -35 pg
RDW- 10.8%
haemoblobin - 15.5 g/dl
Platelet - 197 10e3/uL
MPV-6.28 fl
please notify me if there's any thoughts you have regarding my case.ty so much.
what is the difference between MCH and MCHC?isn't MCHC supposed to rise when Mch increases?please clearly explain.
should i be concern about these blood test hemoglabin10.1,hematocrit30.8,mcv76.9,mch25.1,rdw15.9
Reasons for low MCH 25.5Pg and MCHC 31.52% Eosinophils 10%
indicate the treatment to improve it.

Thank you,
its interesting for research purpose particularly for the young research workers interested in the medical field. the RDW is still denied in the general medical practice untill its established and made as specific criterion in the diagnosis or prognosis of disease
i would like to know having a high rdw what can acure its slowing going up from 15.7 then 16.00 then 16.8 like that what could it be and why.. and this time on my labs my mch is low 26.8
I've have elevated MCH for decades(just a few points elevated).
years ago I had a blood test for folic acid and B12.Results: folic and B12 above normal requirements.

I would like to solve the puzzle of why MCH are high. All other results are normal and so docs aren't interested.

Supplement I take daily: SAMe,and a combination supplement of B6. B12 and folic.
i have a patient with neutrophil 4% , Lym 3.1% , Monocyte 0.58 , Eos 1.94 and Bas 0.09( the total of wcc(9.7) Rcc (3.9) Hb (116) Hct (0.37) MCV (96) MCH 30 MCHC 311 RDW 15.8 PLT 355 .
In the film Anisopiokiolocytosis (+)giant PLT (++) Acanthocyte(+) Burrcell (+)Fragmented (+)
the patient has the surgery progrss what is the diagnosis and what futher test should be done and what is the most prominent Feature and what is the most Probable Disorder. Thank you very much.

My daughter has a monocyte count of 17 she is 20 years old. She has been experiencing, fatigue, weakness, loss of weight (128 to 120 in a month), has low blood pressure, and has had one fainting spell. She is not trying to lose weight. Also, she has been complaining that her vision seems as though it is not as sharp. She eats a normal amount. The unexplained weight loss is the most troubling coupled with the fatigue. Is a monocyte count of 17 unusual?

if you have macrocytic anemia it means that your red blood cells are large in size and it is mostly due to vitamin b12 or folic acid deficiency. you should take green leafy vegetables and vitamin b12 supplements

Hi, I am a bit concerned about people who are on HAART and have elevated MCV and MCH yet Hb is normal. can this be due to drugs impact or is it because of diet intake? what is really happening to the indices?
