Investigation of the effect of RBC volume size on platelet histogram
Objective To explore the relationship of platelet histogram pattern and red blood cell volume.Methods The abnormal PLT histograms were divided into two categories:Class A and Class B;Normal PLT histograms are for class C;The PLT histograms with different RBC MCV ranges were classified,Meanwhile,the manual counting and the instrument count were compared.Results The rate of abnormal PLT histograms severely affected when RBC volume at 51.7-69.9fl is 100%;The rate of abnormal PLT histograms affected when the RBC volume is between 70 and 82 fl is 75.5%,The normal PLT histogram ratio was 24.5%;The rate of the affected abnormal PLT histograms occurring when the RBC volume was>82 was 11.1%,The normal PLT histogram ratio was 89.0%;Conclusion The smaller the red blood cell volume,the greater the effect is caused on the platelet histogram.
