What is "hemoglobin"?

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. It is what makes blood red and is essential for transporting oxygen to tissues and organs. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, helping to ensure that the body’s cells receive the oxygen they need to function properly.

hematocrit

a measure of the percentage of red blood cells in the total volume of blood, indicating its oxygen-carrying capacity

What is "hematocrit"?

Hematocrit is the measurement that shows what proportion of blood is made up of red blood cells. It is shown as a percentage, representing how much of the total blood volume is made up of red blood cells. For example, if the hematocrit level is 45%, this means that 45% of the blood’s volume is red blood cells, with the rest being plasma and other components. This test helps evaluate overall blood health and can be useful in diagnosing conditions like anemia or polycythemia.

tip de sânge

any of the types into which human blood is divided

What is "blood type"?

Blood type refers to the classification of blood based on certain substances found on red blood cells. The main blood types are A, B, AB, and O, depending on which substances are present or missing. Blood can also be either Rh-positive or Rh-negative, which means it has or does not have an additional substance called the Rh factor. Knowing a person’s blood type is crucial for safe blood donations and organ replacements, as matching the blood types helps avoid dangerous reactions.

(angiogramă)

(angiogramă)

angiografie

a medical imaging procedure that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize blood vessels and diagnose conditions such as blockages or abnormalities in the circulatory system

What is "angiography"?

Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to view the inside of blood vessels and organs. During the procedure, a special dye is injected into the blood vessels to make them visible on X-ray images. This dye helps make any blockages, narrowing, or other issues in the blood vessels visible. Angiography is commonly used to examine the heart, brain, and other parts of the body to diagnose and plan treatments for conditions related to blood vessels.

viteza de sedimentare a eritrocitelor

a blood test that shows the speed at which red blood cells settle, often used to detect inflammation

What is "erythrocyte sedimentation rate"?

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube over a certain amount of time. This settling rate is influenced by the presence of proteins in the blood that increase during inflammation or infection. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation, infection, or other medical conditions such as arthritis, lupus, or some cancers in the body. This test is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose or monitor these conditions and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

hemoleucogramă

a blood test that assesses various components, aiding in the diagnosis of medical conditions

What is a "complete blood count"?

A complete blood count (CBC) is a common blood test that measures the levels of different cells in the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test helps evaluate overall health and identify various conditions, such as infections, anemia, and blood disorders. By analyzing the numbers and types of these cells, a CBC provides important information about the body's ability to fight infections, carry oxygen, and clot blood properly.

glucoză în sânge

the amount of sugar in your blood

What is "blood glucose"?

Blood glucose refers to the amount of sugar, also known as glucose, present in the blood. Glucose is a main source of energy for the body’s cells. Measuring blood glucose levels helps to monitor and manage conditions like diabetes, where the body has trouble controlling blood sugar levels. Blood glucose tests can be performed after not eating for a period of time or at random times, depending on the purpose. Consistently high or low levels can indicate problems with blood sugar control and help doctors in diagnosing and managing diabetes and other related conditions.

factor Rh

a protein on red blood cells, influencing blood type

What is "rhesus factor"?

Rhesus factor, or Rh factor, is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells that determines whether a person's blood type is Rh-positive or Rh-negative. If the protein is present, the blood type is Rh-positive; if absent, it is Rh-negative. This factor is inherited from one's parents, and knowing one's Rh factor is important for safe blood transfers and during pregnancy, as different Rh factors between mother and baby can lead to complications.

What is a "red blood cell"?

A red blood cell (RBC) is a type of blood cell responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. Red blood cells are the most common blood cells in the body and contain a protein called hemoglobin, which attaches to oxygen and gives blood its red color. These cells are essential for providing oxygen to tissues and organs and removing waste gases. A normal number of red blood cells is crucial for maintaining overall health and ensuring that the body’s tissues receive enough oxygen.

What is a "white blood cell"?

A white blood cell (WBC) is a type of blood cell that plays a crucial role in the body's immune system. Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not carry oxygen but help fight infections and protect the body from diseases. They do this by identifying and attacking harmful bacteria, viruses, and other foreign invaders. White blood cells are less common than red blood cells but are essential for maintaining health. A healthy number of white blood cells is important for effectively responding to infections and other health threats.
