Red Blood Cell (RBC) Indices (Anemia Labs)

This video explains red blood cell indices, which are used to determine different types of anemia. Lab tests include complete blood count (CBC), red blood cells (RBC), Hemoglobin/Hematocrit (H/H), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, B12, and folate.
