CBP - Complete Blood Picture.

In my school & college days I used to maintain a dairy and note down important and useful information as and when i go through them. Last week i was turning pages of one of my dairies and found this useful information. So thought of sharing it with you all, so that next time you can decrypt your CBP report without the help of a doc ; )

CBP
|-------------> Haemoglobin
|-------------> RBC (Reb Blood Cells)
|-------------> WBC (White Blood Cells)
|-------------> Platellets
|-------------> Differential Count
|-------------> Peripheral Smear

Haemoglobin:
------------------
This is present in the Red Blood Cells of our blood. I carries oxygen to other cells in the body.

If Haemoglobin is less, it leads to Enimia. This may be due to improper diet, loss of blood, etc.,

If Haemoglobin is more, it lead to Polysythemia

RBC:
-------
RBCs carry Haemoglobin in our blood. So, RBCs should be sufficient enough to carry Haemoglobin. If they are less, then it leads to Enimia.


WBC:
--------
They protect our body from infections & allergies. If there is any kind of infection, allergy in our body, then WBCs increases to fight them. If WBC count is high, it means that, they are fighting with some kind of disease or bacteria in our body.

Platellets:
-------------
These cells help in clotting the blood when needed. If we are hurt or had a cut, then these cells help in clotting the blood over there and protect from further bleeding. Bleeding will be high if platellets count is less.

Diffential Count (DC):
-----------------------------
WBCs are of five types, namely, Neutrophils, Lymphosites, Monosites, Esnophils, Basophils. DC measures count of these five types.

If our body is infected by bacteria, virus, fungus then Neutrophils, Lymposites, Monosites count will increase.

If allergy, parasits is present, then Esnophils, Basophils count will increase.

Peripheral Smear:
-----------------------
Here we measure the size, shape & outline of RBC & WBC to decide the case. For eg. if RBC has smaller size then it is confirmed as one type of animia and if they are larger in size we confirm it as other type of enimia.

Normal Values:
--------------------
Haemoglobin
Male
: 14 - 18 GM/DL

Female : 11.5 - 16 GM/DL
Child : 12 -14 GM/DL

RBC
Male
: 4.5 - 6.0 Million/Cmm

Female : 4.0 - 5.1 Million/Cmm

WBC 4,000 - 11,000 /Cmm

Differential Count
Neutrophils : Adult: 40 - 75% Child: 36 - 50%
Lymphosites: Adult: 20 - 40% Child: 36 - 50%
Monosites : 2 - 8%
Esnophils : 1 - 6%
Basophils : 0 - 1%

Platellets 1,50,000 - 4,50,000 /Cmm

Peripheral Smear : Indicates size, shape & Outline.

Good Bye My Lover...

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
