Blood Count Reference Values

The reference values ​​of the complete blood count generally vary according to the sex and age of the patient, however, it is also possible to observe differences in values ​​depending on the laboratory where the collection was made.

The blood count is used to evaluate certain blood aspects such as red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets, and is a good way to identify the presence of infections, excess iron or anemia, for example.

There is usually a sign of infection when leukocytes increase and there are signs of allergy when eosinophils increase, but it is important that the blood test is interpreted by the doctor who asked for the test because it should take into account the symptoms that the individual presents.
