Newer CBC Parameters of Clinical Significance

Hematopathology

Abstract

As technology advances, recently developed automated hematology analyzers (HA) determine routine CBC parameters with better accuracy. In addition, they yield novel parameters also called Advanced Clinical Parameters (ACP) whose clinical utility is being assessed by several researchers in the field of laboratory hematology. Many of these ACP have been found to enhance clinical information and are now integrated into the routine Complete Blood Count (CBC) report.
