RBC (Red Blood Cells)
Every undergraduate and many laypersons understand that packed cell volume (PCV l/l or %) rises in dehydration and shock and falls in (extreme) haemorrhage. PCV is however, probably the least useful RBC measure in the elite athlete. As noted previously, it is a labile parameter influenced by splenic contraction following exercise or excitement and blood […]

Neutrophil Bands
PMNL’s are marginated in numbers on the endothelium of the peripheral blood vessels and are released into the circulation in response to stress, infection and inflammation. PMNL values are often reported as the percentage of neutrophils (N %) in a differential cell count. When reported in this way, the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio in mature adult elite […]
Monocytes
Monocytes are macrophage precursors. Monocytosis (Monocytes > 0.5 x 109 / L) can reflect cellular responses to chronic bacterial infections.
