A patient with the following values-RBC = 4.01 $\times$ 10¹²/L, Hgb = 12.5 g/dL, and Hct = 37.2%-will most likely have which of the following RBC indices?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) is calculated as (Hct/RBC) x 10, MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) as (Hgb/RBC) x 10, and MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) as (Hgb/Hct) x 100. Using the patient's values: MCV = (37.2/4.01) x 10 ≈ 92.8 fL, MCH = (12.5/4.01) x 10 ≈ 31.2 pg, MCHC = (12.5/37.2) x 100 ≈ 33.6%. Therefore, option A is correct.

A Patient with the Following Values-RBC = 4 ×\times× 1012/L, Hgb = 12

A Patient with the Following Values-RBC = 4 $\times$ 10¹²/L, Hgb = 12
