Primary Purpose and Uses
- Diagnosing Blood Disorders: It helps identify and diagnose hematologic conditions such as anemia, leukemia, and infections by analyzing the size, number, and morphology of blood cells.
- Monitoring Overall Health: Routine CBC tests help healthcare providers determine a patient’s general health and screen for a variety of conditions before symptoms appear.
- Assessing Treatment Response: For patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, the analyzer is used to monitor blood cell counts over time and assess how the treatment is affecting the patient’s blood parameters.
- Providing Detailed Analysis: As a 5-part differential analyzer, it can differentiate between all five types of white blood cells (neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes), providing more in-depth data than a 3-part analyzer.
- Detecting Inflammation/Infection Markers: Newer versions, like the KT-8000P, can also test for C-reactive protein (CRP) and Serum Amyloid A (SAA) from a single blood sample, which aids in the quick, early diagnosis of infections and inflammation.
- White Blood Cell (WBC) Count and differential percentages
- Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count
- Hemoglobin (HGB) Level
- Hematocrit (HCT) Level
- Platelet (PLT) Count
- Various other indices such as Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), and Plateletcrit (PCT).
