RBC Count
Number of red blood cells per a unit volume (x million / cu.mm.)
( x 106 / cu.mm.)(x 106 / mm3.)(x 106 / uL.)(x 1012 / L.)

• Procedure• A finger is lanced and small
amount of blood is allowed to accumulate
• Blood is drawn into the pipette
• Fill blood into red pipette at 0.5 mark.
• Fill reagent add up into the pipette to 101 mark.
• Shake the pipette on the vibrator for 1 min.
Procedure• Discarded the first 3-4 drops.• Fill in the hemacytometer
nicely.• Allow RBC to set down for 2-3
min.• Count 5 red squares under
microscope • Calculate the RBC

Counting1. Count in 5 red cell squares in the middle (In 4 squares at corners and another 1 in the middle). 2. Top-left touching count3. Using counter hand tally or hand tally

Calculation
Red cell count = number of cells counted (N)
x volume factor (=50)
x dilution factor (=200)
= N x 10,000
Normal range = 3.8 - 6.0 x 106 / cu.mm.
Decrease in RBC
• Burns• Pregnancy• Anemia• Iron deficiency• Vit B12• Bone marrow damage

Increased RBC
• Dehydration• Heart disease• Renal problems
