Verekeemiaanalüüs

Verekeemiaanalüüs, also known as a complete blood count (CBC) or blood chemistry analysis, is a common laboratory test that provides a comprehensive overview of a person's blood components. It measures various elements within the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The analysis typically quantifies the number of each type of cell, their size, and their shape. Specific parameters examined include hemoglobin levels, which indicate the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, and hematocrit, representing the proportion of red blood cells in the total blood volume. White blood cell counts are further differentiated to identify the prevalence of different types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes, which are crucial for immune function. Platelet counts are also assessed, as these are vital for blood clotting. Deviations from normal ranges in any of these components can signal a wide range of medical conditions, from anemia and infections to inflammatory diseases and certain cancers. Verekeemiaanalüüs is a fundamental diagnostic tool used in routine health check-ups, as well as for diagnosing and monitoring various illnesses. Interpreting the results requires consideration of the patient's overall health status and other clinical findings.
