Abstract
The CBC test provides an overall view of the health of an individual’s blood by measuring
various blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin,
hematocrit, and platelets. This test is crucial for diagnosing a wide range of conditions such
as anemia, infections, and many other blood-related disorders.The blood group test identifies
an individual’s blood type, based on the presence or absence of certain antigens (A, B, AB,
or O) and the Rh factor (positive or negative). Blood typing is essential for safe blood
transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy care to prevent Rh incompatibility ESR is a
test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in a given
time (typically one hour). A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation, infection, or
other medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases or cancer.C-RP is a blood test that
measures the level of C-reactive protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
High levels of CRP indicate acute inflammation or infection, and the test is often used to
assess the risk of heart disease or other inflammatory conditions The GUE test provides an
analysis of the physical, chemical, and microscopic components of urine. It helps detect
various conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, and metabolic problems
like diabetes, by examining factors like pH, protein, glucose, and the presence of cells or
bacteria in urine.

Introduction
Medical laboratory diagnostics play a vital role in modern healthcare, offering crucial
insights into a patient’s health status, disease progression, and response to treatment. Among
the numerous diagnostic tests available, certain core blood and urine analyses are frequently
utilized due to their diagnostic versatility and significance in clinical practice. This report
focuses on five essential diagnostic tests: the Complete Blood Count (CBC), C-Reactive
Protein (CRP) test, Blood Group Determination, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and
General Urine Examination (GUE). Each of these tests provides a different perspective on
the body’s physiological and pathological state, making them indispensable in both routine
check-ups and emergency medical assessments.Complete Blood Count (CBC) is one of the
most frequently performed blood tests in medical diagnostics. It provides detailed
quantitative information about the various cellular components of blood, including red blood
cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and
platelets. This test is critical in diagnosing and monitoring a wide array of conditions such as
anemia, infections, clotting disorders, and certain malignancies like leukemia. In my summer
training, I learned how to prepare samples, use automated hematology analyzers, and
interpret various abnormalities in CBC results, thus gaining an understanding of how
deviations in these parameters could signal underlying health issues C-Reactive Protein
(CRP) is an acute-phase reactant that rises in response to inflammation, infection, and
trauma. Produced by the liver, CRP is released into the bloodstream in response to
inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Elevated CRP levels can indicate
bacterial infections, chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, or
cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction. This test is particularly useful for assessing
the risk of cardiovascular diseases and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments aimed at
reducing inflammation. During my training, I was exposed to different CRP measurement
techniques, including immunoassays, and gained an understanding of the test’s role in
detecting inflammatory states and guiding clinical decision-making. Blood Group
Determination is another critical component of laboratory diagnostics, especially in the
context of blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy care. Blood grouping tests
classify blood into various ABO and Rh types, ensuring compatibility in medical procedures
to avoid potentially life-threatening reactions. Misclassification or incompatible transfusions
can lead to severe hemolytic reactions, making accurate blood typing imperative. As part of
my training, I performed both forward and reverse typing procedures and gained experience
in recognizing agglutination patterns, which are central to determining a person’s blood
group .Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a simple, non-specific test that measures the
rate at which red blood cells sediment in a tube over a specified period. Although ESR lacks
specificity, it is widely used as a general marker of inflammation and chronic diseases. An
elevated ESR suggests the presence of inflammation or infection but can also point to more
chronic conditions such as autoimmune diseases or cancers. Understanding ESR, its
limitations, and how it correlates with other diagnostic results, was an essential part of my
training. Learning the factors that affect ESR, such as anemia or abnormal red blood cell
shapes, helped me appreciate the test's utility and limitations in clinical diagnosis Lastly,
9
General Urine Examination (GUE) provides valuable insights into the health of the urinary
system and broader metabolic and systemic conditions. The GUE typically assesses the
appearance, concentration, and content of urine, providing a window into the health of the
kidneys, bladder, and ureters, as well as metabolic conditions like diabetes and liver
disorders.

1.3 Complete blood count (CBC) analysis3
It is an important analysis taken from a patient’s sample, which is useful in all tests to
determine the causes of diseases.(February 2009)
Procedure/
Drawing blood from the patient using a syringe 2.3 Then put it in a violet tube (EDTA) and
put it in a special device for this analysis and read in this format :
Discussion /
First, know that the normal RBC in a man is 4.5-6.5 million
*And women from 3.8 to 5.8 million
*The WBC ranges from 4 thousand to 11 thousand
*The platelet ranges from 150 thousand to 450 thousand
Red blood cells membranes in human contain different types of antigens while plasma
contain on antibodies There are four of blood groups are (A, B, O, AB), as the following:
1. A blood group: in which the persons that have A antigen in red blood cell membranes
and they have b antibody in plasma and forms about 42%.
2. B blood group: in which the persons that have B antigen in red blood cell membranes
and they have a antibody in plasma and forms about 9%.
3. AB blood group: the persons that have A, B antigen in red blood cell membranes and
they don’t have antibody in plasma and forms about 3%.
4. O blood group: the persons that don’t have A, B antigen in red blood cell membranes
and they have a,b antibody in plasma and forms about 46%
Notes:
1. A+ blood group donates both A+ , AB+ blood groups and recipient blood from A+,
A-, O+, O- blood groups
2. A- blood group donates both A+, A- blood groups and AB+, AB- blood groups and
recipient blood from, A-, O- blood groups
3. B+ blood group donates both B+ , AB+ blood groups and recipient blood from B+, B-,
O+, O- blood groups
4. B- blood group donates both B+, B- blood groups and AB+, AB- blood groups and
recipient blood from B-, O- blood groups
5. AB+ blood group donates AB+ blood group only and recipient blood from A+, A-,
B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, O- blood groups
Chapter one
6. AB- blood group donates both AB+, AB- blood groups and recipient blood from A-,
B-, AB-, O- blood groups
Method
1. We come up with a glass slide and divide it into three sections. We put a drop of blood
in the left section and a drop of blood in the middle and put a drop of blood in the right
section
2. Put a drop of Anti-A in the left section and put a drop of Anti-B in the middle and put
a drop of Anti-D in the left section
3. The arrangement depends on the laboratory, you can change the sections wherever you
want
4. Anti-D is also the main factor that determines the type of family, positive or negative.
5. We mix the antibiotic with the blood for 60 seconds and then shake the glass slide
slightly to mix together for 3 minutes
6. Then we will see the result and where it is and we find the love, this indicates the type
of family or the following:
*If the love occurs in the Anti-A section as well as in the Anti-D section, this indicates that
the type of species is A+
Chapter one
*But if the granulation occurs only in the Anti-A section, this indicates that the type of
species is A-
14
*If the granulation occurs in the Anti-B section as well as in the Anti-D section, this
indicates that the type of species is B+
*But if the love occurs only in the Anti-B section, this indicates that the type of family is B+
*But if the love occurs in the Anti-D section only, this indicates that the type of the Dom
family is O+
*But if there is no granulation in any section, this indicates that the type of species is O-
*But if granulation occurs in all sections, this indicates that the type of blood type is AB+.

Erythrocytes Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
ESR is distance in which red blood cells fall after a specific time period
(1hour) away about plasma under effect of gravity, ESR is depend on
concentration of proteins present in plasma such as fibrinogen, albumin and
globulin and considered of ESR important in identification of some
pathological cases such as anemia, rheumatism and inflammations in human
body and there are five signs of inflammation are high temperature, redness,
tumor, pain and loss of function to inflammatory organ. Principle of ESR
At occur inflammation in the body occur increased in proteins secreted from
liver in the blood, surface red blood cells carry negative charge therefore red
blood cells are disharmony among them, but at secretion of proteins in blood
that carry positive charge occur equivalent in charge between red blood cells
and proteins therefore red blood cells gather together and occur sedimentation
of red blood cells.

A laboratory blood test is used to detect the level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is
produced by the liver in cases of severe inflammation. This makes it a strong indicator of the
presence of inflammation in the body. The abbreviation C-RP stands for C-reactive protein,
which is produced in the liver and is one of the proteins known as acute-phase proteins,
considered markers of inflammation in the body. Its levels in the blood increase when there
is inflammation. Although an elevated C-RP level does not provide details about the location
of the inflammation, its results can be relied upon to determine the likelihood of certain types
.of infections and inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis
:The purposes of this test
To detect inflammation and malignant tumors: The standard test is used to detect elevated .1
levels of the protein in the blood
To detect heart and vascular diseases: Particularly coronary insufficiency and bacterial .2
infections affecting the heart lining, where the high-sensitivity test is used alongside this type
of analysis
To monitor wound healing, especially after surgeries.3
To detect rheumatoid arthritis.4
To detect respiratory infections.5
To detect rheumatic diseases.6
:Causes of elevated CRP
A range of conditions and health problems cause elevated CRP levels and other indicators of
:inflammation. These include
Burn injuries.1
Physical trauma or wounds.2
Heart attacks.3

Urination:is the process of excreting urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the
outside of the body, are involved both involuntary and voluntary muscles.
Specimen Collection
1-Collect a fresh urine specimen in a urine container
-2If the urine specimen contains vaginal discharge or bleeding, a clean-catch or midstream
specimens will be needed (having the patient being to urinate then stop urinating, to wash the
urine out of the distal urethra, then the patient voids into a sterile container)
3-Capping the container
-4Allowing the patient to finish voiding
-5For urine specific gravity, a first voided specimen is preferred
6-For protein, the first voided specimen is best; however, occasionally a 24-hour urine
collection.
Transportation of specimens:
Urine specimens should be delivered to the laboratory within 2 hours of collection or
refrigerated and transported to the lab as soon as possible.
General urine Examination
Includes three tests:
1. Physical examination
2. Chemical examination
3. Microscopic examination
Physical Examination:
1-Urine volume: less than 2 liters per day is usually considered normal, dependent normally
up on
-Fluid intake
-Age and gender
-2Color:Urine variesin appearance,depending upon the body’s level of hydration. Normal
urine is a transparent solution ranging from colorless to amber but is usually a pale yellow to
yellow.
3-Turbidity
4- Odor
