The 9 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Hemoglobin

    The oxygen-carrying protein in your red blood cells. It is the main number used to check for anemia.

    Men, 16+
    13–17.7 g/dL
    Women, 16+
    11.1–15.9 g/dL

  • Reticulocyte Count (Percent)

    The share of your red blood cells that are brand new. It shows how actively your bone marrow is making red cells.

    18+
    0.6–2.71 %

  • Reticulocyte Count (Absolute)

    The number of reticulocytes (very young red blood cells) in a set amount of blood. It shows how many new red cells your bone marrow is releasing.

    18+
    30.4–110.9 ×10³/µL

  • Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

    An enzyme found in almost every tissue. A higher level can be a general sign of cell or tissue damage, and it does not point to one condition.

    Men, 18+
    121–224 U/L
    Women, 18+
    119–226 U/L
    18+
    125–220 U/L

  • Haptoglobin

    A protein made by the liver that binds free hemoglobin. A low level can be a clue that red blood cells are breaking down faster than normal.

    Adults
    30–200 mg/dL

  • Bilirubin, Total

    A yellow pigment made when old red blood cells break down. Your liver clears it, so the level reflects red cell turnover and bile flow.

    18+
    0–1.2 mg/dL

  • Bilirubin, Indirect

    The part of bilirubin that has not yet been processed by the liver. It is worked out by subtracting direct bilirubin from total bilirubin.

    18+
    0.1–0.8 mg/dL

  • Direct Antiglobulin Test (Direct Coombs)

    A blood-bank test that checks whether antibodies or complement proteins are stuck to the surface of your red blood cells.

  • Peripheral Blood Smear Interpretation

    A written description of how your blood cells look under a microscope. Labs add it when a CBC result needs a closer look.

Labs can include one more test in this panel that we haven’t written up yet.
