LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS OF ANAEMIA INTRODUCTIONThe anaemic patient cannot be successfully diagnosed and managed without at least some level of laboratory testing. This may be undertaken in-practice or by sending EDTA anticoagulated blood to a commercial diagnostic laboratory. The minimum in-practice equipment required for basic haematological analysis would be a microhaematocrit centrifuge and tube reader, materials for preparation of a stained blood smear and a microscope for evaluation of the blood smear. A refractometer for assessment of plasma proteins is also valuable. Increasingly sophisticated instrumentation is now available for in-practice laboratories to undertake haematological analysis. Most of these machines produce acceptable data for red and white blood cells but may underestimate platelets. It is essential to examine a blood smear in parallel with assessing the readings from such equipment. This lecture reviews the erythrocyte parameters and cytological changes that may be seen on examination of the blood smear. ERYTHROCYTE PARAMETERSTotal red blood cell count, PCV and HbThe packed cell volume (PCV) is the percentage of blood volume made up of red blood cells (RBCs). It is determined manually by centrifugation of a microhaematocrit tube and recorded as a percentage of blood volume. The haematocrit (Hct) is determined by the automated haematology analyser on the basis of cell size and number. The total RBC count is determined in automated fashion or may be measured manually using a haemocytometer chamber and microscope. This parameter is recorded as RBC 1012/l. The concentration of haemoglobin (Hb) in the blood is also determined in automated fashion and reported as g/dl. Determination of Hb concentration will be affected by the presence of lipaemia, haemolysis or bilirubin in the blood sample. A simple check for accuracy is that the Hb 3 should equal the haematocrit. These values are assessed relative to a normal reference range but it should be remembered that these reference ranges may not apply to all situations. For example very young animals or pregnant animals may have outlying values and there are some breed-related effects (e.g. sight hounds have relatively high PCV and lower neutrophil count). The PCV, RBC count and Hb all reflect the red cell mass and these three parameters generally correlate, so simple PCV measurement is a good index to use. The PCV may be used to describe the severity of anaemia. As an approximation a dog has a mild anaemia with a PCV of 30 36%, moderate anaemia at 18 29% and severe anaemia at 18%. A cat has mild anaemia at 20 24%, moderate anaemia at 15 19% and severe anaemia at 60 109/l is indicative of a regenerative response and a count of 400 109/l indicates marked regeneration. Alternatively, the reticulocyte production index (RPI) may be determined. The RPI corrects the count for the degree of anaemia and the lifespan of the reticulocyte. The first correction is for degree of anaemia that is calculated by:Corrected % (or count) = observed % (or count) observed PCV/normal PCV (45)The second correction is for reticulocyte lifespan:RPI = corrected % 1/blood maturation timewhere maturation time depends upon the PCV: PCV 45% 1 day 35% 1.5 days 25% 2 days 15% 2.5 daysAn RPI 2.5 indicates a regenerative anaemia. Feline aggregate reticulocytes are recent marrow emigrants that become punctate reticulocytes after a 10 12 day maturation time. By contrast, punctate reticulocytes have been present in the circulation for 3 4 weeks. Aggregate reticulocytes should be counted to determine regeneration in the cat as they represent active bone marrow regeneration whereas punctate forms represent cumulative regeneration. An aggregate count of 40 109/l indicates regeneration and of 200 109/l indicates marked regeneration. BONE MARROW EVALUATIONFor non-regenerative anaemia evaluation of the bone marrow is an important part of the diagnostic process. Two sample types may be collected: an aspirate of medullary content or a bone marrow needle core biopsy. The former sample is evaluated by the clinical pathologist and the latter by a histopathologist. The advantage of core biopsy is that the tissue pathology may be better evaluated, but obtaining good diagnostic core biopsies is challenging. Impression smears may be made of the core before placing it into formalin. Samples are generally obtained from the femoral shaft of the cat or the iliac crest of the dog. For large dogs the ribs or sternebra are an alternative site for marrow aspiration. Aspirated samples should be placed into EDTA or ACD anticoagulant (may be obtained from a blood bag) and at least 10 squash preparations should be made and rapidly air-dried for staining. The major lineages should all be evaluated for orderly maturation and relative proportion and the myeloid to erythroid ratio determined. Abnormal (neoplastic) cells s
