How to Interpret RBC Indices (e.g. hemoglobin vs. hematocrit, MCV, RDW)

An overview of the RBC indices of a complete blood count (CBC), and how to interpret them. Covered tests include hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and RDW.

Great overview video on some essential bloodvalues! Great for medical students 👍

Please do a review on basic chem panels and values. What a doctor looks for when reading them. Comprehensive panel, iron profile, lipid panel, electrolyte panel, renal panel, your cardiac biomarkers. Lab result interpretation is an essential skill. Great video!!!!

Great video!the details are clearly explained. I was about to pay $100 to a doctor for him to interpret my results. Thanks for uploading!

Thank you so much our best teacher ❤️ I'm really wondering why doesn't this kind of well prepared and presented informations get a lot of views and likes ? I'm afraid that would have a negative feedback on our teacher 😣😣

Excellent job as always! I don’t think there’s any other easier way to learn this.

Great video as always.
I'm excited for the upcoming anemia lectures.

this is extremely useful coming from a clinician

Very important for docs to know about TRT patients is there is a self regulation mechanism with Hematocrit and a 50-70 is common. And even patients in Colorado at 1k feet in the air only have 53-60% hematocrit. And if there are issues require Jak2 and other cancer gene markers to diagnose.

Thank you Doc, you explained it in such a way that it's impossible to forget!

Thanks for making and sharing this well-organized video. One minor note -- I don't believe it's quite correct to say that a low MCH correlates with hypochromia. If the cells are small but the MCHC is normal, MCH will be low but there will not be hypochromia. I believe it would be more accurate to say low MCHC correlates with hypochromia. This is somewhat academic since, in practice, they're all correlated 😂

I should send this to my doctor. Awesome and informative!

Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

Hello. Should I be worried if my mchc is Slightly higher of 1g/l only?

The normal value is 316-354 G/L and my result is 355..

Thank you so much

[Devils]

Great lecture!
Just one issue...you said that the hematocrit has low significance value...
It is actually very imp in determining states like polycythemia or pcv

[bsingh]

Hi, can some one please tell me how i can work out my red blood cell count from hematocrit % (expressed as: ?.? mil/ul)?

[JaHmsZ]

Shat does high rbc high rdw low mcv low mch low mchc mean?

[docmalice]

Im sorry im a little confused, whats the difference between hemoglobin and mchc? I get that mch is the average amount of hemoglobin in a single rbc, but both hemoglobin and mchc are the amount of hemoglobin in a volume of blood right? Theyre even expressed in the same unit. Whats the difference?

Thank u for make this video, it help me a lot for a better understanding.
