A complete blood count includes five major measurements:
- white blood cell (WBC) count White blood cells fight infections.
They are measured in thousands per cubic milliliter (K/mm3) of blood.
- red blood cell (RBC) count Red blood cells carry oxygen to and remove
waste products from the body’s tissues. These cells also contain hemoglobin.
Red blood cells are measured in millions per cubic millimeter (mil/mm3)
of blood.
- hemoglobin (HGB) value Hemoglobin gives red blood cells their color.
Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and takes carbon
dioxide (the waste products) from the tissues to the lungs. From the
lungs, carbon dioxide is exhaled.Hemoglobin is measured in grams per
deciliter (g/dL) of blood.
- hematocrit (HCT) value The hematocrit is the percentage of red blood
cells in relation to your total blood volume.
- platelet count. Platelets help to stop bleeding by forming blood
clots. They are measured in thousands per cubic millimeter (K/mm3)
of blood.

Relationship between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancer. Preliminary studies suggest that a proline or an arginine(p53-72R) may be a risk factor for cervical cancer and, consistent with this, preferential mutation and retention of the p53-72R allele has also been demonstrated in other cancers of squamous cell origin. In the examination, we found a significant positive association between p53-72R and susceptibility to sunburn, as assessed by skin phototype and minimal erythemal dose following solar-simulated radiation.
