ABSTRACT

Hematic cytometry is one of the most requested laboratory studies in hospitalized patients and the first exam that the clinician faces in the diagnostic evaluation. In intensive therapy there are multiple indications for requesting a hematic cytometry and often the severe patient has numerous abnormalities resulting from the immunoinflammatory response and multiple organic compromise, but beyond the evaluation of anemia, thrombocytopenia and/or leukocytosis in a critically ill patient, the clinical should analyze in a targeted way some markers that report on the status of the disease at the time of assessment, particularly the chronicity, severity and prognosis of these serious conditions, which helps in making diagnostic-therapeutic decisions. For this reason we review the most important aspects that should be highlighted in the analysis of blood cytometry from the point of view of an intensivist, especially in the management of serious patients, emphasizing their clinical utility.
