Confirmation of red blood cell membrane morphology
Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Under normal conditions, the morphology of each red blood cell is fairly consistent in corresponding age groups. The morphology and proportion of each blood cell type may change in various hematologic diseases.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see RBCME / Red Blood Cell Membrane Evaluation, Blood.
Not applicable
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Description of red blood cell morphology will be provided, if applicable.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A poorly prepared peripheral smear may result in less than optimal interpretation.
