Potassium is an electrolyte that plays an important role in numerous bodily functions (e.g. heartbeat).

MCV is an acronym found in the results of laboratory blood tests. MCV stands for "mean corpuscular volume". It refers to the average volume of red blood cells or erythrocytes. MCV is important when we want to determine which type of anemia (anemia - reduced amount of hemoglobin and/or number of red blood cells) is present. In microcytic anemia (for example, in case of iron deficiency), MCV is reduced, while in macrocytic anemia (for example, in case of vitamin B12 deficiency), MCV is increased.

MCHC is an acronym that we find in the findings of blood laboratory tests. MCHC is an acronym for "mean corposcular hemoglobin concentration". It refers to the amount of hemoglobin per specific volume unit (e.g. g/dcl).

MCH is an acronym that we find in the blood laboratory test results. MCH is an acronym for "mean corpuscular hemoglobin". It refers to the average amount of hemoglobin in each of the red blood cells or erythrocytes.

Lkci is an acronym for leukocytes (white blood cells).

Hematocrit (abbreviation Ht) is the volume fraction of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood and is an indirect measure of blood viscosity. It can be determined by sedimentation of blood cells (erythrocytes) in a peripheral blood sample using centrifugation.

Hb is an acronym for hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron. Its task is to transport oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells.

Erci is an acronym for erythrocytes (red blood cells).

Zinc is a chemical element that is also found in small quantities in the human body and is very important for growth, healing, immune response, etc. Zinc deficiency can manifest itself with growth retardation, diarrhea, primary hypogonadism, skin diseases, weakened taste and smell, and weakened immunity and resistance to infections.

Platelets, also known as blood platelets, are cells found in the blood. Their main task is blood clotting. With a reduced number of platelets, there can be problems with stopping any potential bleeding. Conversely, with elevated levels of platelets, there can be problems with blood clots.
