These parameters were determined for approximately 1500 to 2000 individuals ages 20 to 80 (varies slightly by category). Reference ranges may differ depending on the instrument used. Refer to the laboratory-specific reference values provided with the individual's results.
CBC: complete blood count; fL: femtoliter; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; pg: picograms; RBC: red blood cell; RDW: red cell distribution width; WBC: white blood cell.
