Et høyt antall røde blodceller kan reflektere konsentrert blod heller enn et overskudd av røde blodceller. Den første oppgaven er å skille midlertidig væsketap fra en vedvarende forhøyelse som krever en grundig utredning.
- Relativ erytrocytose betyr at plasmavæsken har sunket, noe som gjør at RBC-antall, hemoglobin og hematokrit ser høye ut uten at det har blitt dannet nye celler.
- WHO threshold verdier som støtter mulig polycythemia vera er hemoglobin over 16,5 g/dL hos menn eller 16,0 g/dL hos kvinner, eller hematokrit over henholdsvis 49 % og 48 %.
- Ny test etter hydrering er vanligvis fornuftig ved en mild, isolert forhøyelse etter oppkast, diaré, varmeeksponering, faste eller anstrengende trening – hvis du ellers er frisk.
- Diuretics kan øke hematokrit gjennom væsketap; ikke avbryt foreskrevet medisinering uten å snakke med legen som foreskrev den.
- Pattern matters: høy albumin, totalprotein, natrium, BUN/kreatinin-ratio og urinens egenvekt støtter dehydrering mer enn ekte overproduksjon av røde blodceller.
- Repeat timing er vanligvis 1–2 uker etter restitusjon, normalt væskeinntak og 24–48 timer uten uvanlig hard trening, med mindre akutte symptomer er til stede.
- Persistent elevation etter god hydrering berettiger vurdering av røykeeksponering, søvnrelaterte pusteforstyrrelser, høyde, testosteron, lunge- eller nyresykdom, erytropoietin og ofte JAK2-testing.
- Akutte symptomer inkluderer brystsmerter, ny tung pust, ensidig svakhet, synstap, forvirring eller et smertefullt, hovent bein; dette krever umiddelbar oppfølging, ikke en ny hjemmetest.
Hva et høyt RBC-resultat vanligvis betyr
Et høyt RBC-tall kan være falskt forhøyet grunnet dehydrering når væsketap konsentrerer den cellulære delen av blodet; det betyr ikke automatisk at benmargen din produserer for mange røde blodceller. Nøkkelen er om hemoglobin og hematokrit normaliserer seg etter restitusjon og vanlig inntak av væske, fremfor å forbli forhøyet på en korrekt utført oppfølgende CBC.
RBC-tallet angir antall røde blodceller per liter, mens hematokrit angir brøkdelen av helblod som består av disse cellene. Referanseområder for voksne varierer fra laboratorium til laboratorium, men mange bruker omtrent 4,5–5,9 × 10¹²/L for menn og 4,1–5,1 × 10¹²/L for kvinner. En verdi rett over referanseområdet er ofte mindre informativ enn hemoglobin- og hematokritverdiene ved siden av; vår guide til hva en CBC inneholder explains why.
Dehydrering senker den flytende komponenten i blodet i løpet av timer, slik at den samme massen av røde blodceller opptar et mindre målt volum. På klinikken ser jeg ofte dette etter omgangssyke: RBC 5,8 × 10¹²/L, hemoglobin 17,1 g/dL, hematokrit 51 %, og deretter normale verdier etter restitusjon. Dette er relativ erytrocytose, ikke en laboratoriefeil og ikke nødvendigvis en sykdom.
Kantesti er en AI-blodprøveanalysator som leser RBC, hemoglobin, hematokrit, røde blodcelleindekser, nyremarkører og tidligere resultater under ett. Fra og med 5. september 2026 behandler vår kliniske vurderingsrutine et enkelt grenseverdi-flagg på en CBC som en oppfordring til å sjekke prøveforberedelse og trender – ikke som en diagnose.
RBC-tall er ikke det samme som total masse av røde blodceller
En CBC kan ikke måle den totale massen av røde blodceller direkte. Den måler konsentrasjon, som stiger når plasmavolumet trekker seg sammen; spesialiserte isotopundersøkelser av rødcellemasse er i dag sjelden nødvendig, men de illustrerer hvorfor en konsentrert CBC kan se alarmerende ut uten at det foreligger en faktisk økning i antall celler.
Relativ erytrocytose kontra ekte overskudd av røde blodceller
Relativ erytrocytose er et høyt RBC-, hemoglobin- eller hematokritnivå forårsaket av redusert plasmavolum, mens absolutt erytrocytose reflekterer en genuint økt masse av røde blodceller. Hydrering kan korrigere det første mønsteret, men vil ikke korrigere det andre.
Ekte erytrocytose kan være primær, som ved polycythemia vera, eller sekundær til økt erytropoietin grunnet lavt oksygennivå, medisiner eller i sjeldne tilfeller en nyreprosess. WHOs kriterier fra 2016 bruker hemoglobin over 16,5 g/dL for menn eller 16,0 g/dL for kvinner som grenseverdier som bør reise mistanke om polycythemia vera, særlig når det er vedvarende (Arber et al., 2016). En enkeltverdi er ikke tilstrekkelig for å stille diagnosen.
Det praktiske skillet ligger i resten av panelet. Høy RBC ved dehydrering mønstre inkluderer ofte høy albumin, totalprotein, urea/BUN, natrium og konsentrert urin; absolutt erytrocytose kan etterlate disse markørene uendret. Se vår fokuserte artikkel om lett forhøyet hemoglobin hvis det er hemoglobin, fremfor kun RBC, som er resultatet med flagg.
Et normalt RBC-tall utelukker ikke erytrocytose hvis hemoglobin eller hematokrit er høy, og et forhøyet RBC-tall alene kan forekomme med små røde blodceller ved jernmangel eller thalassemi-anlegg. Dette er grunnen til at MCV og ferritin betyr noe; et høyt RBC-tall med MCV under 80 fL er en annen klinisk samtale.
Hvordan dehydrering endrer CBC og nyremarkører
Dehydrering øker vanligvis RBC-tall, hemoglobin og hematokrit samtidig, og det øker ofte albumin, totalprotein, urea/BUN, kreatinin og urinkonsentrasjon. Et uoverensstemmende resultat – for eksempel høyt RBC-tall med lav hemoglobin – passer ikke godt med enkel hemokonsentrasjon.
A BUN/creatinine ratio above about 20:1 in US units can support reduced kidney perfusion from fluid loss, although gastrointestinal bleeding, protein intake, corticosteroids, and low muscle mass can alter the ratio. Creatinine may rise modestly after heat exposure or a long run because both filtration and muscle metabolism change. Our guide for dehydrering og eGFR covers when a low eGFR should be repeated.
Urine specific gravity of 1.025 or higher is compatible with concentrated urine, but it is not a direct hydration meter. Glucose, protein, and some imaging contrast agents can also increase it, so a clinician should interpret it with symptoms and electrolytes. A urine specific gravity reference is useful when the CBC and urinalysis were collected on the same day.
I advise against trying to force-normalise a test by drinking several litres immediately before a draw. Rapid overdrinking can lower sodium, and it creates another unrepresentative sample; normal meals and ordinary thirst-guided fluids for 24–48 hours are generally safer for people without a fluid restriction.
Oppkast, diaré, varme, faste og vanndrivende medisiner
Vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, prolonged fasting, and diuretic medicines can all cause a temporary high RBC concentration by reducing plasma water. The degree of elevation depends more on fluid loss and replacement than on how unwell a person feels.
Acute vomiting often produces low chloride and sometimes high bicarbonate because gastric acid and fluid are lost. Loop diuretics such as furosemide and thiazides can produce a similar volume-contracted profile, especially in older adults. A low chloride result belongs in the same clinical frame; see vomiting and diuretic chloride clues for mønsteret.
Do not stop a prescribed diuretic to improve a CBC without medical advice. People taking these medicines for heart failure, cirrhosis, resistant hypertension, or kidney disease may need a tailored fluid plan, because indiscriminate drinking can worsen swelling or breathlessness. The right question is whether the dose, symptoms, weight, blood pressure, and renal results fit together.
Thirst is helpful but imperfect in adults over 65 and in people with diabetes, kidney disease, or certain neurological conditions. Dark yellow urine, dry mouth, postural light-headedness, reduced urination, and a weight drop of 1 kg over 24 hours can support fluid loss, but severe symptoms deserve assessment rather than self-treatment.
Trening kan midlertidig konsentrere blodet ditt
Hard endurance exercise can raise hematocrit and hemoglobin for several hours through sweat loss and plasma-volume shifts, even though repeated training may lower baseline hematocrit through expanded plasma volume. Timing is therefore unusually important for athletes.
A 90-minute run in warm weather can remove 1–3 litres of fluid, depending on body size, climate, and sweat rate. Sampling immediately after a race may also show higher creatinine, CK, albumin, and total protein; that cluster is more useful than an RBC result alone. Our marathon blood-test timing guide discusses the recovery markers that commonly change.
For routine monitoring, I usually suggest avoiding unusually intense exercise for 24–48 timer before the draw, arriving rested, and drinking normally the day before. This is not a universal laboratory rule, and elite-athlete monitoring may deliberately test under load—but consistency matters more than perfection. Dr. Thomas Klein has seen many unnecessary referrals disappear once an athlete is retested after a normal recovery week.
Kantesti’s BUN- og kreatininforskningsveiledning is particularly helpful when an endurance athlete has both a high hematocrit and a borderline kidney flag. A falling weight, high urine specific gravity, and short recovery interval make hemoconcentration plausible; muscle pain, cola-coloured urine, or very high CK require a different level of caution.
En trygg plan for å gjenta en mildt forhøyet CBC
A mildly elevated RBC count can usually be repeated after 1–2 weeks of recovery, ordinary hydration, and stable medication use when you have no red-flag symptoms. Repeat sooner only if your clinician requests it or the initial result was substantially elevated.
Before the repeat, record whether you had diarrhea, vomiting, fever, alcohol intake, a sauna, long travel, altitude exposure, fasting, or intense exercise in the prior 72 hours. Keep your usual diet and medication schedule unless your clinician tells you otherwise. This baseline blood-test preparation guide has a practical checklist for avoiding accidental variation.
Use the same laboratory when possible, because analyser methods and reference intervals differ. Ask for a CBC with hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, RDW, white-cell count, and platelets; persistent elevation accompanied by high platelets or white cells is more concerning for a marrow process than isolated erythrocytosis. A recent illness can affect these lines in opposite directions, so the full panel counts.
Kantesti er en AI lab test interpretation service that compares a new CBC with earlier values and flags changes that exceed ordinary variation. Our trend approach does not replace a clinician, but it can preserve the crucial context—exercise, illness, medications, and prior hematocrit—that is often lost when a single result is viewed alone.
Når et gjentatt høyt resultat krever utredning for erytrocytose
Persistently high hemoglobin above 16.5 g/dL in men or 16.0 g/dL in women, or hematocrit above 49% or 48%, should prompt a clinician to evaluate erythrocytosis after dehydration is excluded. The usual first tests are repeat CBC, erythropoietin level, oxygen assessment, and JAK2 mutation testing when appropriate.
Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative neoplasm in which JAK2 mutations are found in about 98% of affected patients. Low serum erythropoietin supports primary marrow overproduction, but no single blood test should be interpreted in isolation. The British Society for Haematology guideline recommends a structured approach that separates primary from secondary erythrocytosis (McMullin et al., 2019).
Symptoms can be subtle: headaches, blurred vision, itch after a warm shower, unusual facial flushing, fatigue, or a past clot may matter more than the exact RBC value. For a fuller explanation of hematocrit, erythropoietin, and JAK2, read our polycytemi symptomveiledning. Many people with mild laboratory elevation have none of these features.
I am careful not to imply that every persistent high count is cancer. Smoking-related carbon monoxide exposure, untreated sleep apnea, lung disease, testosterone, high altitude, and some kidney conditions are more common explanations in many practices. Still, persistence is precisely why a repeat CBC should not become an endless cycle of casual retesting.
Lavt oksygennivå, røyking og søvnapné som årsaker til høy RBC
Chronic low oxygen can stimulate erythropoietin and cause a truly elevated red blood cell count; sleep apnea, smoking-related carbon monoxide exposure, and lung disease are frequent causes. A normal daytime oxygen saturation does not fully exclude overnight oxygen drops.
Obstructive sleep apnea can cause modest erythrocytosis, particularly when there are substantial overnight oxygen desaturations. Loud snoring, witnessed pauses, morning headaches, resistant hypertension, and daytime sleepiness should trigger a sleep-focused history rather than an assumption that dehydration explains everything. A pustebesværs blodprøveguide outlines the broader cardiopulmonary context.
Cigarette smoking raises carboxyhemoglobin, which reduces oxygen delivery despite a pulse oximeter that may look reassuring. Vaping does not create the same carbon monoxide exposure as combustible tobacco, but it has other health risks and should still be discussed honestly. Carbon monoxide testing or co-oximetry is sometimes more useful than a routine oxygen saturation.
Kantesti AI interprets a high RBC result alongside hemoglobin, hematocrit, kidney markers, and reported sleep or smoking factors rather than presenting a generic cause list. That contextual reading is especially valuable when the hematocrit is 50% after hydration and the patient reports unrefreshing sleep.
Høyde, testosteron og medisiner som øker RBC
Living or training at altitude and using testosterone can increase red-cell production, so the elevation may be real rather than dehydration-related. The timing of exposure often answers more than the initial number.
At altitude, lower oxygen pressure stimulates erythropoietin and raises hemoglobin over days to weeks; the expected range depends on elevation, duration, ancestry, and laboratory reference data. A CBC collected during or shortly after a mountain stay should be interpreted against that exposure. Our altitude hemoglobin retest guide explains why return-to-sea-level timing matters.
Testosterone injections, gels, pellets, and some anabolic agents can cause erythrocytosis. Many prescribing protocols reduce or pause therapy when hematocrit reaches 54%, although individual risk decisions differ, especially in people with cardiovascular disease or sleep apnea. Never donate blood or alter a prescribed dose as a substitute for discussing the result with the prescriber.
Less commonly, SGLT2 diabetes medicines can cause a small rise in hematocrit, partly through plasma-volume effects and possibly erythropoietin signalling. A medication list should include over-the-counter androgen products, injectable treatments, and recent changes—not merely medicines printed in the electronic record.
CBC-indikasjoner som endrer bekymringsnivået
High RBC is more concerning when hemoglobin and hematocrit are also high, especially with elevated platelets, white cells, low erythropoietin, or abnormal cells on a smear. A high RBC with low MCV often points instead toward small-cell disorders.
An MCV below 80 fL with a relatively high RBC count can occur in thalassemia trait, where cells are small but numerous. Iron deficiency can also lower MCV, although it more often lowers hemoglobin over time; ferritin and transferrin saturation clarify the distinction. Our MCV and MCH comparison explains why the RBC number alone misleads.
High white cells or platelets alongside a high hematocrit do not diagnose polycythemia vera, but they lower the threshold for a haematology review. A peripheral smear, ferritin, erythropoietin, JAK2 testing, and sometimes bone-marrow assessment may follow. Our blood cancer testing pathway shows why these tests are sequenced rather than ordered indiscriminately.
Dr. Thomas Klein’s practical rule is simple: look for agreement across independent signals. A hematocrit of 52%, platelets of 520 × 10⁹/L, and low erythropoietin is a fundamentally different pattern from hematocrit 50% after a heatwave with albumin 5.3 g/dL and concentrated urine.
Symptomer og risiko for blodpropp: når høy RBC er akutt
Seek urgent care for a high RBC result with chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, coughing blood, fainting, new weakness, speech difficulty, visual loss, or a painful swollen leg. These symptoms can reflect a clot or another acute condition and should never wait for a repeat CBC.
Higher hematocrit can increase blood viscosity, but symptoms and overall vascular risk determine urgency more reliably than a modest isolated elevation. Polycythemia vera carries a recognised thrombotic risk, particularly with older age, prior thrombosis, cardiovascular risk factors, and uncontrolled counts. Tefferi and Barbui's 2021 review describes risk-adapted treatment rather than treating every raised count in the same way.
Headache alone is common and nonspecific; headache with new visual symptoms, weakness, or confusion is not. Likewise, a warm shower itch can occur in polycythemia vera but also in dry skin and allergy, so it is a clue, not proof. Review blood-test warning signs for chest pain if symptoms are part of why the test was ordered.
Do not take aspirin solely because an RBC count is high unless your clinician recommends it. Aspirin has bleeding risks and may be inappropriate with ulcers, anticoagulants, low platelets, or certain medical histories. Emergency services are the safer choice when focal neurological or cardiopulmonary symptoms develop.
Hvorfor dine tidligere CBC-er kan svare på spørsmålet
A stable mildly high RBC count over years has a different meaning from a rapid rise over weeks, and trends can distinguish personal baseline from new disease. Compare results using hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, and the same laboratory whenever possible.
Biological variation and analyser variation mean a small change is not always a real physiological change. A 0.3 g/dL hemoglobin difference between two draws may reflect hydration, posture, timing, or ordinary variation; a sustained climb from 15.2 to 17.3 g/dL deserves more attention. Our article on meaningful lab changes explains the reference-change-value concept.
Keep a simple record of altitude, smoking status, testosterone dose, illness, heavy exercise, menstrual bleeding, and fluid losses at each draw. That record is more clinically useful than chasing one exact “ideal” RBC count. In my experience, the absence of this context is why patients receive conflicting explanations from different appointments.
Kantesti, en AI-plattform for tolkning av biomarkører, can display serial CBC values beside renal and protein markers to identify concentration patterns. We encourage users to treat trend analysis as preparation for a clinician conversation, not a replacement for an examination or targeted testing.
Vurderinger ved graviditet, høy alder og kronisk sykdom
Pregnancy usually lowers hemoglobin and hematocrit through plasma-volume expansion, so a high value in pregnancy deserves clinician review rather than a casual dehydration assumption. In older adults and people with heart or kidney disease, fluid advice must be individualised.
During pregnancy, plasma volume expands by roughly 40–50%, creating physiological dilution; many maternity services investigate hemoglobin above 16.0 g/dL because it may signal inadequate plasma expansion or other concerns. Severe vomiting in early pregnancy can still concentrate the CBC, but persistent elevation should be discussed with the maternity team. See pregnancy blood-test red flags for same-day scenarios.
Older adults may not report thirst reliably, while heart failure and advanced kidney disease can make excess fluid dangerous. A rapid change in ankle swelling, weight, breathlessness, or urine output matters more than trying to meet a generic water target. Diuretic adjustments belong with the clinician managing the underlying condition.
Children have age-specific hemoglobin ranges, and a value that looks high on an adult portal may be appropriate at a particular age or altitude. A paediatric clinician should interpret persistent elevation, particularly with cyanosis, congenital heart disease, or poor growth.
Spørsmål du kan stille legen din etter et høyt RBC-antall
Ask whether your result represents hemoconcentration, whether hemoglobin and hematocrit are also high, and what repeat conditions are appropriate for your health history. Good questions prevent both premature alarm and missed persistent erythrocytosis.
Bring the complete report, not just the flagged RBC value, plus previous CBCs and a current medication list. Ask: “Were albumin, total protein, sodium, creatinine, BUN/urea, and urine concentration consistent with fluid loss?” This veiledning for serumproteiner can help you understand why albumin belongs in that discussion.
If the elevation persists, ask whether oxygen assessment, sleep testing, erythropoietin, ferritin, JAK2 testing, or haematology referral fits your pattern. The answer will differ for a 28-year-old endurance athlete with hematocrit 50% and a 67-year-old smoker with hematocrit 55% and a prior clot. Specific history changes the work-up.
Kantesti’s clinical methodology is overseen with published quality standards and physician input; readers can review our medisinske valideringsmetode before using any automated interpretation. Dr. Thomas Klein’s bottom line is that hydration is a reasonable first check for a mild isolated result, but persistent high values deserve a real explanation.
Den praktiske konklusjonen om dehydrering og høy RBC
Dehydration can cause a false-looking high RBC result by concentrating blood, but it should be considered a working explanation only when the clinical context and companion laboratory markers agree. A normal repeat after recovery is reassuring; a persistent elevation should be investigated.
For an isolated, mild elevation after heat, gastrointestinal illness, fasting, or strenuous exercise, recover normally and repeat the CBC under consistent conditions in roughly 1–2 weeks. Avoid extreme water loading, and do not change diuretics, testosterone, or other prescribed medicine without advice. If you are unsure whether your result is only marginal, our utenfor-området-resultatguide explains laboratory flags.
For repeated hematocrit above 49% in men or 48% in women, or hemoglobin above 16.5 g/dL or 16.0 g/dL, ask for directed assessment rather than repeating indefinitely. Smoking exposure, sleep apnea, altitude, medication effects, erythropoietin, and JAK2 status are commonly considered in the next phase. Symptoms suggesting clotting or stroke need urgent care.
Kantesti er en AI-powered blood test analysis tool built to organise these results and their trends for an informed medical discussion. Our physician reviewers and Medisinsk rådgivende styre emphasise the same principle: context first, repeat testing when safe, and prompt clinical review when the pattern persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kan dehydrering føre til et høyt RBC-tall?
Ja. Dehydrering kan føre til et høyt RBC-tall fordi tap av plas vann konsentrerer de røde blodcellene i et mindre blodvolum, et mønster som kalles relativ erytrocytose. Hemoglobin og hematokrit stiger vanligvis sammen med RBC-tallet, og albumin, totalprotein, BUN/urea eller urinens spesifikke vekt kan også være forhøyet. En lett isolert forhøyelse normaliseres ofte etter tilfriskning og normalt væskeinntak, men ved vedvarende hematokrit over 49% hos menn eller 48% hos kvinner er klinisk vurdering nødvendig.
Hvor mye vann bør jeg drikke før jeg gjentar en RBC-test?
De fleste voksne bør drikke sin vanlige mengde basert på tørst i 24–48 timer før en ny CBC, fremfor å bevisst drikke unormalt store mengder. Et praktisk mål er lysegul urin og normal vannlatning, ikke helt klar urin eller tvunget væskeinntak. Personer med hjertesvikt, langtkommen nyresykdom, skrumplever eller en foreskrevet væskebegrensning bør be legen sin om en individuell plan. Å drikke flere liter raskt kan senke natriumnivået og gi et ikke-representativt resultat.
Hvor lenge etter dehydrering bør jeg gjenta en CBC?
En gjentatt CBC utføres vanligvis 1–2 uker etter at oppkast, diaré, feber, heteslag eller betydelig fysisk anstrengelse har gitt seg. Ved treningsrelaterte endringer bør man unngå uvanlig hard trening i 24–48 timer før prøvetaking og opprettholde normalt væskeinntak. Tidspunktet kan være tidligere dersom hematokrittverdien er markant høy, symptomer er til stede eller nyremarkører er unormale. Bruk samme laboratorium så langt det er mulig, slik at referanseområder og analysemetoder er sammenlignbare.
Hvilket RBC-antall anses som farlig høyt?
Det finnes ikke ett enkelt RBC-antall som definerer fare, ettersom risikoen avhenger mer av hematokrit, hemoglobin, symptomer, årsak og sykehistorikk med blodpropp. En hematokrit på rundt 60 % eller høyere krever vanligvis rask klinisk vurdering samme dag, mens vedvarende verdier over 49 % hos menn eller 48 % hos kvinner begrunner en utredning for erytrocytose. Brystsmerter, plutselig åndenød, synstap, svakhet, talevansker eller et smertefullt, hovent ben er hastetilfeller uavhengig av det nøyaktige tallet. Disse symptomene krever akutt vurdering fremfor å vente med hydrering eller ny prøvetaking.
Kan vanndrivende midler føre til forhøyede røde blodceller?
Diuretika kan føre til forhøyet konsentrasjon av røde blodceller ved å redusere plasmavolumet, spesielt etter doseøkning, i varmt vær, ved lavt væskeinntak, oppkast eller diaré. De får vanligvis ikke benmargen til å produsere ekstra røde blodceller, så effekten kan reverseres når væskebalansen er korrigert. Ikke avbryt behandlingen med furosemid, hydroklortiazid eller et annet foreskrevet diuretikum på egen hånd, ettersom disse medisinene kan være nødvendige for å kontrollere hjertesvikt, blodtrykk eller ødem. Diskuter CBC sammen med vekt, blodtrykk, kreatinin, natrium, kalium og symptomer.
Betyr et høyt RBC-antall alltid polycythaemia vera?
Nei. De fleste høye RBC-resultater betyr ikke automatisk polycythemia vera; dehydrering, karbonmonoksid knyttet til røyking, søvnapné, høyde, lungesykdom og testosteron er vanlige alternativer. Polycythemia vera blir mer sannsynlig når hemoglobin forblir over 16,5 g/dL hos menn eller 16,0 g/dL hos kvinner, hematokritt forblir over 49 %, erytropoietin er lavt, og JAK2-testing er positiv. Polycythemia vera har en JAK2-mutasjon i omtrent 97 % av tilfellene. En kliniker bør tolke disse testene som et mønster, ikke stille en diagnose ut fra ett enkelt CBC-flagg.
