RBC blood analysis. What it is lowered, raised, norm and deviation in children, women, men

RBC - a figure that was detected by the delivery blood count. This study assigns a hematologist, because such an analysis helps to diagnose the disease and identify the level of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

What is the test for RBC?

Analysis of RBC stands for «Red blood cells», which means "red blood cells". It helps to determine the number and intensity of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to the heart.

Basically, it is prescribed in such cases:

• To determine the blood and diagnosing disease, in which reduced blood level indicators (iron deficiency anemia, anemia, cancer, etc.).

• During pregnancy as the blood circulation gets worse, this is due to the intensive development of the fetus (prescribed for the prevention and the preservation of the child).
• At intensive care admission and at which need to be tested for the production of erythrocytes and their oxygenated (especially after chemotherapy).
• During the rehabilitation period after endocrine diseases in which can worsen heart.

Total blood erythrocytes helps diagnose serious diseases under development. Therefore, hematologists recommend to conduct a survey of 1-2 times a year for universal prevention.

RBC norm in blood test

RBC in the blood test - this is a survey that helps determine the level of red blood cells, and what is considered a pathology in accordance with the person's age.

Adults

In women, the norm will be considered as a value in 4.5-5 liters, it affects personal sexual development and menstruation. In men, the normal values ​​are from 5-6 liters, this is due to the active testosterone, causing the blood becomes saturated with oxygen.

In old age, male and female figures may be reduced to 3.5-4 liters, this is due to the extinction of sexual function as a result of insufficient production of testosterone and progesterone.

infants

Age	normal levels
1-3 days	4.5-7 l
3-7 days	4.5 -6.5 liters
2 weeks (14 days)	3,5- 6,1 l
2 weeks -1 month	3 - 5,5 l
2-11 months	2,8-4,5 l
11 months-1 year	3, 1-5 l

Children

Children from 2 to 12 years are considered normal values ​​from 3.5 to 4.5 liters, it is associated with physical maturation. From 13 to 18 years has been actively produced hormones and puberty occurs, resulting in figures vary from 3.5 to 5.5 liters. Indicators can dramatically increase or decrease, it affects the activity of hormone production and the beginning of the menstrual cycle in females.

What analysis helps to determine the level of RBC?

To determine the level and amount of red blood cells may be at the time of total blood analysis.

Donating blood on RBC can also be defined:

• The number of erythrocytes and their oxygen saturation.
• Hemoglobin level.
• The platelet count.
• Color indicators (erythrocytes oxygen saturation).
• Reticulocyte count.
• The rate of precipitation of erythrocytes in the blood (ESR).
• leukocyte level.

Complete blood count is recommended to take 1-2 times a year, as reduced or increased rates indicate the development of serious pathologies.

Decryption results spends haematologist, which starting from the indicators, prescribes treatment.

Survey Preparation

RBC in the blood test - this is a study, to which pre-treatment is administered.

It runs thus:

• Refusal to breakfast and giving blood on an empty stomach, Is not it possible to accurately determine the level of red blood cells, white blood cells and hemoglobin (it is desirable to carry out the procedure in the morning).
• Give up coffee, Black tea, juice, alcohol and beverage additives with nitrate for 8 hours prior to delivery of the analysis, due to which reduced hemoglobin and erythrocytes.
• Abandon drugs and antibiotics for 12 hours prior to donating blood, since they violate the integrity of the erythrocytes, leukocytes and hemoglobin is lowered.

If the patient is hospitalized, before delivery of the analysis hematologist conducting additional procedures depends on the disease. It is also recommended to give up smoking, which are destroyed when hemoglobin cells, due to which the oxygen concentration in the blood decreases.

How is blood sampling

Most often, the blood on RBC taken from a finger, it is painless and effective way to learn about the rates of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Blood sampling from finger occurs in the following sequence:

1. First assistant lubricates the ring finger on his left hand alcohol to be disinfected and to relieve the patient from pain.

   

2. Then disposable lance incision is made on the ball of the finger, and the blood is taken with a pipette, which is placed in a special flask A further examination.
3. At the end of laboratory procedures lubricates finger wool with alcohol, then put the blood from the flask to a special glass, which carried out a study on the indicators.

During pregnancy and serious illness prescribe blood donation with the veins, whereby it is also possible to determine the work of the organs of internal secretion. Infectious diseases may increase the kidney, liver and pancreas, so a blood test to help diagnose venous abnormalities and pick up treatment.

How to wait for analysis results

RBC blood analysis examined in 1-14 days, because it is a test that determine the performance of the immune system and hormones. Patients who are on a stationary or ambulatory treatment, make analyzes within 1-4 hours. This is necessary in order to assign the appropriate treatment and learn about the progression of serious illnesses.

Those who donate blood in order to prevent, it is necessary to wait from 1-14 days, if there is no direction from hematologists. The rate of receipt of the decryption results are influenced by many factors, especially the quality of the equipment in the lab.

deciphering responses

Interpretation of the results conducts laboratory, after which the haematologist concludes and determines the rate of performance in accordance with age and gender. Deciphering the responses will depend on the reduced or increased performance, indicating that the disease or hormonal failure.

Causes of low values

The concentration and the amount of red blood cells in the blood may fall, it happens for the following reasons:

• Severe physical trauma or surgery with a large loss of blood, resulting in decreased levels of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood.
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines work is disrupted (ulcers, gastritis, hemorrhoids, cancer and bowel disease).
• Abundant amount of bleeding during menstruation in women, and abortions and miscarriages, which reduces the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood.
• Iron deficiency anemia and leukemia, which reduces the concentration of indicators such as erythrocytes, hemoglobin and development of leukocytes.
• Antibiotics and medications that enhance the production of leukocytes in the blood and antibody, because of which reduce the amount of erythrocytes.

The reasons for the high level of

The intense increase in red blood cells in the blood is influenced by such factors:

• Pregnancy, in which red blood cells are increased due to the growth and development of the fetus (also during Rh disease the mother and the unborn child).
• Exsicosis and dehydration as a result of diseases, which decreases the number of erythrocytes and oxygen, due to which the blood loses saturation.
• Disorders of gastrointestinal organs and intestine, vomiting, frequent meteorism and diarrhea, which increases the concentration of red blood cells (particularly rotavirus).
• Hormonal failure and renal work, which is why there is dehydration, which affects the production of red blood cells in the blood and heart.

To know exactly the reason why indicators deviate from the norm, you need to take a blood test and be examined by a hematologist. To self-medicate is not recommended for deviations from the norm, as it may worsen heart function due to lack of oxygen.

What to do to normalize the indicator

RBC in the blood test - this is a study that will help determine the appropriate method of treatment, if there are deviations from normal performance. Normalize indicators is possible by means of medicines and folk remedies, to know what will be the best you can with the treating doctor-hematologist.

Medication and popular methods of increasing the level of RBC

To raise the number of red blood cells is recommended these drugs:

• With content Ferum ferrous sulfate (Tardiferon, Ferretab, Aktiferin, Feropleks, Fero-Folgamma, Sorbifer Durules and Gino-Tardiferon).
• Since the content of ferric sulfate Ferum adult (Biofer, Ferrum lek, Ferlatum Foul Maltofer, and Ferlatum Fenyuls).
• Since the content of folic acid and vitamin B9, which increases the concentration of hemoglobin and red blood cells (Biofer, Ferretab, and Gino Maltofer Foul-Tardiferon).
• C cyano cobalamin, vitamin B12 and ascorbic acid, which is saturated with blood erythrocytes and hemoglobin (Ferro-Folgamma, Sorbifer Durules and Aktiferrin).
• Formulations for injection and internal administration, thereby increasing oxygen and hemoglobin in blood (Venofer, and Kosmofer Argeferr).

There are also traditional methods of raising the red blood cells, they are suitable for those who are allergic or intolerant to the medicine.

Best folk remedies are:

• Broth hips and rosemary. Rosehips and wild rosemary contain large amounts of vitamins and enzymes that improve blood circulation and raise the red blood cells. To prepare necessary to add 100 g of rosehip and rosemary, and after boil supply guide for 10-15 min. It is recommended to drink a decoction 2-3 times a day, on an empty stomach before eating food.
• Broth of hawthorn. Infusion of hawthorn improves heart and circulation process, using it have a chance to increase hemoglobin and red blood cells. To prepare the brew must be 150-200 g hawthorn, then let stand for 5-10 min. Hawthorn can drink for adults and children, if there is no allergic reaction and you are hypersensitive organism.
• Salad with radish and radish. Radish and radish contain large amounts of iron and vitamin B9, which increase red blood cell indices. For the preparation you need to cut or whisk to blender 1-2 radishes and radish, then add to taste sugar or salt. Eat a salad is not recommended for those who are gastritis or gastric ulcer.
• Salad with apples and quince. Quince and apples - the main source of iron, which will help improve RBC performance. For the preparation you need to peel and cut into 2-3 and 1-2 apple quince, after taste add sugar. You can also add carrots, pear and radish taste, if not allergic.
• Walnuts and honey. Walnuts contain vitamins and enzymes that enhance RBC. Eat them with honey need 1-2 times a day, unless there is an overabundance of iodine and thyroid diseases.

Before to choose medications should consult a hematologist and a nutritionist. It is also necessary to pass an allergist and get tested to determine whether there is an allergy to drugs and pills.

Drugs and folk remedies to reduce RBC

To reduce the red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration in the blood, hematology prescribe such medications:

• Acetylsalicylic acid, which helps thin the blood, making it less and oxygenated hemoglobin (Aspirin Aspeter, Plokard, and Aspekard Atsekor).
• Dipyridamole, which helps lend vessels and thin the blood with a high level of red blood cells (Courant Aklotin, Agenoks Atsekor and cardio).
• Clopidogrel, which reduces the oxygen in the hemoglobin of erythrocytes which fall indicators (Aterokard, Platogril, and Lopigrol Trental).

At high concentrations of red blood cells also use leeches, this method is called hirudotherapy.

To reduce the red blood cells and hemoglobin, experts recommend such folk remedies:

• Tincture of dandelion and horsetail. Dandelion leaves and horsetail help lower red blood cell indices, thus improving the functioning of the heart and heart vessels. For the preparation you will need 20-50 grams of dandelion stem and leaf of 50-100 g horsetail, then boil. After cooking, you need to give the broth for 10-15 minutes and then drink 2-3 times a day after meals.
• A decoction of chamomile and calendula. To prepare the broth must be 100 g and 100 g of camomile calendula pour boiling water, then let stand 10-15 minutes. Chamomile and calendula help blood thinners and vasoconstriction, so you can get rid of the surplus of RBC and hemoglobin in the blood.
• Lemon juice. Lemon contains a large amount of acetylsalicylic acid, which dilutes the blood and makes it less saturated. To prepare enough to squeeze 1-2 lemons into a glass of water, then add to taste sugar or honey. Drinking juice is recommended 2-3 times a day after meals.
• A decoction of dill. Dill improves liver, kidney and blood, thereby reducing the concentration of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood. To prepare the broth must be 50 grams fennel boil after give infusions of 10-15 minutes. A decoction of dill can drink for adults and children, unless there is an allergic reaction or other contraindications.
• Salad with bananas and apricots. To prepare the salad you need to finely chop or whisk to blender 1-2 banana and apricot 2-3, then add sugar to taste, dried apricots or raisins. Salad will help to improve bowel function, heart and blood circulation, thereby reducing the performance of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
• Black sweet tea. When an excess of red blood cells and hemoglobin recommended to drink 2-3 times a day of black tea with sugar, which helps reduce the performance. Sweet desirable black tea drink in a pure form, without flavorings, which adversely affect the intestines and stomach as a whole.

RBC in the blood test - this is a survey that will help determine raised or lowered performance on the basis of this, we can determine the treatment. It is also necessary to reconsider the diet and make products that, according to the test results, increase or decrease the RBC indices in the blood.

Complications of high and low values ​​of RBC

If you do not engage in treatment and did not restore normal red blood cells, may disturb the unpleasant symptoms and complications.

At high values ​​can be confusing symptoms and complications:

• Increase in blood glucose and sugar, which provokes the occlusion of blood vessels, because of what happens hormonal failure and diabetes.
• Heart failure, the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (also worried about a sharp pain in the heart and cardiac muscle).
• Violation of the pancreas, thyroid, thymus, due to which the body is hormonal failure and metabolic dysfunction.
• Violation of the liver and hepatomegaly, thereby increasing the size of the body and disturb the unpleasant symptoms (rash on the face, skin discoloration and dark circles under the eyes).
• It decreases the total body weight, it is due to dehydration and improper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract (and there is a degeneration of anorexia).

At lower rates can occur such symptoms and complications:

• Report process circulation and the heart, which is why there is a frequent dyspnea and sensation of lack of oxygen (also associated with hypoxia of the brain).
• Violation of the gastrointestinal tract and assimilation of food, which is why bother bloating, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea (may be bowel disease).
• Violation of appetite, not assimilation of food and irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach, which can cause serious diseases (gastritis, ulcers, degeneration and anorexia).
• Menstrual disorders in women and complicated childbirth and frequent miscarriages as a result of insufficient circulation of oxygen in the blood to the fetus.
• The appearance of the unpleasant symptoms that disrupt overall health and reduce physical activity (drowsiness, nausea, and weakness).

RBC in the blood test helps to determine the concentration of red blood cells and hemoglobin, that can diagnose the disease in its early stages. Such examinations are recommended for adults and children, in time to define indicators and seeking treatment.
