LOINC description : This panel is the traditional hemogram plus platelet count which must now be reported
with with hemograms according to current US re-imbursement rule The panel includes
2 different RDWs to accommodate the two different ways of reporting them. (Most automated
instruments report as a percent ). The hemoglobin produced by the automatic counters
does not use a counting method to generate the hemoglobin so we have used the methodless
version of hemoglobin in this panel.;
