It should be known that the norms of the presence of constituent blood, which are investigated during the analysis, as well as their relationship, are very conditional. These figures will not tell you anything if you are far from medicine, especially since they can change under the influence of taking medications, performing operations, etc. Therefore, to decipher a general or detailed analysis of the blood in children, with or without a formula, you should only treat your doctor , who sees the whole "picture" of the disease.
Results of a general blood test - decoding in children
But any parent will be useful to know about how the blood test is deciphered, and to know this terminology.
Norms of blood cells in children (for different ages) you see in the table of its general clinical analysis, and their interpretation is as follows.
The main criteria are:
- erythrocytes responsible for oxygen transport;
- hemoglobin - the minimum amount is 110 g / l; if the figure is less, then anemia develops;
- the content of platelets determines the coagulability of the blood;
- ESR (4-15 mm / h) indicates the development of inflammation;
- leukocytes in the blood are responsible for immune control.
The reasons for the deviation from the norm differ for each indicator - for example, too much red blood cells mean too much blood (and this is a risk of thrombosis), and their lack - the oxygen starvation of the body.
In addition to the general analysis of blood in children, sometimes biochemical -
- eosinophils detect the presence of an allergic reaction, parasites, etc .;
- the number of basophils that regulate phagocytosis should not be more than 1%;
- lymphocytes provide local immunity, their prevalence threatens with a viral infection.
It should be noted that the norms of indicators depend on the age of the child and on the individuality of his organism. Deciphering the detailed analysis of blood in children should be done by an experienced doctor, but Mom should know all the basic nuances.
