What are the differences between erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Much.: Erythrocytes are red blood cells, carry oxygen and provide energy. These are the most numerous cell type in the blood. Leukocytes are white blood cells. They are involved in fighting infection. Platelets are involvedin clotting the blood. These cells are much smaller than the other blood cells. If low, erythrocytes and platelets can be transfused. They all look different microscopically.

My recent lab work shows low WBC 3.1, high monocyte 13.1%, ANC 1.9, and low platelets 136. 2 months ago my WBC were 6.0, monocytes 7%, ANC 5.0, and platelets 123. This seems like a big difference to me. Should I be concerned? No recent med changes?
