Hematocrit
percentage of rbc's in a volume of blood - Hb, Hgb
-
hemoglobin test
total amount of hemoglobin in sample of peripheral blood - antiglobulin test (Coombs)
- demonstrates whether the patient's rbc's are coated with antibody (useful for determining Rh factor)
- coagulation time
- time required for venous blood to clot in a test tube

- MCH
-
mean corpuscular hemoglobin,
avg. amt. of hemoglobin per cell - MCHC
-
mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration -- avg. concentration
of hemoglobin in a single red cell. When MCHC is low, the cell is hypochromic. - MCV
-
mean corpuscular volume
avg. volume or size of single rbc
When MCV is high, the cells are macrocytic, and when low the cells are microcytic. - PT
-
prothrombin time
test of ability of blood to clot
