Erythrocytes [#/volume] in Bone marrow by Automated count
Active
Term Description
A diagnostic bone marrow aspiration may be used to determine the cause of unexplained low or high peripheral blood cells counts, including too few or too many red blood cells (RBCs) (anemia or polycythemia). When the RBC concentration in blood decreases, the marrow typically increases the rate of RBC production until there is a sufficient number of RBCs in the blood or until marrow production capacity is reached. If the bone marrow cannot produce sufficient quantities of RBCs, the individual will become increasingly anemic, with symptoms such as pallor, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity by the red blood cells. Anemia can also occur if the production of RBC in the marrow is suppressed. Polycythemia is defined as an increase in the number of erythrocytes in the blood and marrow.

Part Description
LP14304-7 Erythrocytes
Erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are the cells in the circulation that carry oxygen to and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues throughout the body. They are produced in the bone marrow in response to erythropoietin where they transition through six stages over a seven day period. When they are released into the circulation, their nucleus has been extruded and they measure 6-8 microns in diameter. The lifespan of RBCs is about 120 days. When the RBC ages the cell membrane becomes less pliable and tears as they cell travels through the micro vessels of the body. The damaged RBCs are removed from the circulation by the spleen. Variations in number, shape and size of RBCs are indicative of many diseases and disorders. There are many factors that may lead to decreased numbers of RBCs including hemorrhage, hemolysis, iron or vitamin deficiency, marrow failure and more. Larger than normal RBCs may be indicative of liver disease while smaller than normal RBCs are seen in thalassemias and other anemias.(Mosby's manual of diagnostic and laboratory tests, Kathleen Deska Pagana; Timothy James Pagana, Elsevier St. Louis, Mo ©2010)
