Sickle cell anemia Diagnosis - Causes Signs Symptoms Pictures of Sickle cell disease

Sickle cell anemia Diagnosis - Causes Signs Symptoms Pictures of Sickle cell disease. It is A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down.With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anaemia) and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis). Infections, pain and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell disease. Treatments include medication, blood transfusions and rarely a bone-marrow transplant.

Leukocyte count test Procedure - Test Principle, Uses, Preparation and Interpretation -WBC count

leukocyte count test procedure, Principle, Uses, reagents Preparation and results Interpretation with normal reference range of TLC WBC count test. How many white blood cells (WBCs) someone has varies, but the normal range is usually between 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood. A blood test that shows a WBC count of less than 4,000 per microliter (some labs say less than 4,500) could mean your body may not be able to fight infection the way it should. What happens if total leukocyte count is high? What is normal leukocyte count? What happens if leukocyte count is low? Is low white blood count serious?

Thick Blood Smear for Malaria diagnosis - Principle, Procedure and Results Interpretation

Thick Blood Smear for Malaria diagnosis - Principle, Procedure and Results Interpretation. A blood film—or peripheral blood smear—is a thin layer of blood smeared on a glass microscope slide and then stained in such a way as to allow the various blood cells to be examined microscopically. Blood films are examined in the investigation of hematological (blood) disorders and are routinely employed to look for blood parasites, such as those of malaria and filariasis. How can I make my smear thicker? What is thick and thin smear? How do you identify malaria parasites on blood smears? How do you prepare for a peripheral smear?

Gram Staining - Principle, Procedure and Results Interpretation of Gram stain

gram staining test procedure, Principle, Uses, reagents Preparation and results Interpretation with normal reference range. Gram staining is a common technique used to differentiate two large groups of bacteria based on their different cell wall constituents. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. What does Gram stain positive mean? What are the 4 steps of Gram staining? What is the advantage of Gram stain over simple stain? What is the purpose of Gram staining?
