RBC & WBC count Dr. Tamara Alqudah

Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count RBCs have no nuclei and few organelles, they are shaped as biconcave disks and their main function is to transport hemoglobin which in turn transports oxygen. The average number of RBCs in healthy men is 5.2 M/mm3 (±300,000) and in healthy women 4.7 M/mm3 (±300,000) The aim of the lab is to determine the count of RBCs in a blood sample using a hemocytometer.

Hemocytometer is a special microscopic slide that has specific grids engraved on it’s counting chamber and is designed to hold a specific volume of fluid.

1mm .2mm 0.25mm 3mm 3mm

The procedure Clean the hemocytometer well Place a coverslip over the counting area. Now the distance between the bottom of the coverslip and the surface of the counting area is 0.1 mm Dilute the blood sample by adding 1 unit of blood to 199 units of an isotonic solvent and thoroughly mix the mixture Draw a sample using a pipette and gently touch the junction of the coverslip and hemocytometer and slowly put the sample. Let it stand for 3 min. Use the 10X lens to identify the center square , then use 40X lens to focus on the smaller squares (RBCs appear circular in shape)

Count the number of cells in the five small squares and obtain an average number. Start counting from the left to the right and proceed in a zig-zag. Regarding cells that touch boundaries, count the cells that touch two of the boundaries and ignore the Cells touching the other two boundaries

The calculation If we counted an average of 95 cells in the five squares what is the number of RBCs in the sample? RBCs/mm3 = average number of counted cells X dilution factor (DF) X volume correction factor(VCF) DF = 𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑 =200 The volume of fluid in one small square is (0.2 X 0.2 X 0.1 = 0.004 mm3) VCF = Desired Volume/ Counted Volume = 1/.004 = 250 RBCs/mm3 = 95 X 200 X 250 = 4,750, 000 cells /mm3

Causes of high RBC count (Polycythemia) Living at high altitudes Cardiac or pulmonary diseases Erythropoietin secreting tumors Dehydration Polycythemia Vera Causes of low RBC count (Anemia) Internal or external bleeding Nutritional deficiencies Bone marrow failure Hemolysis of RBCs Chronic Renal failure

WBC count White Blood Cells are the mobile units of the body’s protective system Specifically transported to areas of severe infection or inflammation to provide a rapid and potent defense for the body Normal WBC count is 4000 - 11,000 cells/µL The principle of the procedure is similar to the RBC count procedure with some minor differences.

The counting is performed in the 4 large corner squares Blood is diluted at (1:20 ) so DF = 20 The dilution fluid causes RBCs lyses and stains the nuclei of WBCs. This allows a proper count of WBCs. The volume of fluid in the square is (1 X 1 X 0.1= 0.1 mm3) SO the VCF is 10 We use the 10 X lens for counting and WBCs appear as dark dots. If we counted an average of 40 cells in the 4 squares the count of WBCs is 40 X 20 X 10 = 8000 cells/mm3

Causes of High WBC count (Leukocytosis) Active inflammation or infection. Certain malignancies Physiological processes ( stress, exercise) Dehydration Causes of Low WBC count (Leukopenia) Bone marrow failure due to radiation or malignancy Autoimmune diseases. Infections like HIV & tuberculosis.
