Document Summary
In performing a leukocyte count, blood is drawn to the 1. 0 mark in the capillary of the pipet and then diluted to the 11 mark. The total number of cells counted in the 4 large corner squares of the neubauer counting chamber is 200. The automated platelet count on an edta specimen is 58 x 103/pl. The platelet estimate on the blood smear appears normal, but it was noted that the platelets were surrounding th neutrophils. The next step should be to: re-collect a specimen for a platelet count using a different anticoagulant. Which of the following technical factors will cause a decreased erythrocyte sedimentation rate? small fibrin clots in the sample. Which of the following bone marrow findings favor the diagnosis of multiple myeloma? sheaths of immature plasma cells. Evidence indicates that the genetic defect in thalassemia usually results in: a quantitative deficiency in rna resulting in decreased globin chain production.
