Do you know anything about routine blood work?

The blood routine is a test that each of our children’s parents need to know about, because it will be used when they go back to take medication or when they need to deal with it after chemotherapy, so let’s learn about the blood routine: 1, usually children are to tie their fingers to test the blood routine, which will be somewhat different from the venous blood test, especially when the eye of the needle is small and needs to squeeze the blood will affect the platelet count. In addition, the same time in different locations of the test, and different times of the day measurement may not be exactly the same, so we do not entangle, this is normal. 2, blood routine above the value of many, anyone testing may have a certain item high or low, belongs to the normal phenomenon. We need to pay attention to the general is the white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU #) hemoglobin count (HGB) and platelet count (PLT) can be. As shown below, the marked items are the abnormal indicators that children are prone to after chemotherapy. 3, the degree of abnormality: neutrophils slightly high value is not very meaningful, if the application of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (such as Rui Bai, etc.), may be elevated within a day very high, this is because the drug makes the body store the granulocytes released, and not really newly generated granulocytes, newly generated granulocytes need a week or so before the bone marrow from the peripheral blood, and at this moment the stored The stored granulocytes can perform the same anti-infective function. The range of hemoglobin is wide, below the normal value children may feel weak, below 60g/l will have to be transfused, if it is before chemotherapy, at least greater than 70g/l, the children will be able to tolerate it better. After the myelosuppression phase of chemotherapy, many children will these three indicators are relatively low, and the recovery time often platelets will rise very significantly, some even greater than 500-600 * 109 / l, do not worry very much, every few days recheck most will fall to the normal range.
