Keywords:
blood count, biochemistry, surgery.Abstract
The blood count is the blood count of mainly 3 types of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. With this we can detect if our patient has anemia or infections. Biochemistry allows to assess kidney, liver functions, diagnose and control levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, phosphorus. With the results of these tests, a surgical team has full knowledge of the patient's condition to verify their safety. The objective of this article is to take a simple and practical medical approach to the interpretation of the blood count, recalling some basic concepts and highlighting the contribution of the new indices.
