What is the calculation to determine the normal expected cellularity range in an adult?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal expected cellularity range in an adult can be determined by subtracting the patient's age from 100% and adding/subtracting 10%. The range of normal cellularity is typically 40-60% in adult bone marrow, but can vary based on age, gender, and other factors. Adding or subtracting 10% accounts for variations within the normal range. Option A, subtracting the patient's age from 100% and adding/subtracting 20%, would provide too wide of a range and Option C, adding/subtracting 30%, and Option D, adding/subtracting 50%, would provide unrealistic ranges.
